Nineteen Eighty Four, by George Orwell - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted imply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.
朋友曾经问,看过1984最大的感受是什么?很多人说恐惧,可是我却只感受到刻骨的,无法用泪水倾泄的悲伤。 在黄昏的小屋里,他和她从缱绻后的睡梦中醒来,窗外夕阳的光芒投射在她的身上,外面有一个洗衣妇人的歌声和尘世中种种车来人往。那样的时刻,那样的爱情,它真实地存在...
评分 评分拿到这一版的《1984》,还没有看到内容就已经感到些许悲哀。悲哀可能就来源于这句“日本著名作家村上春树以1Q84》向《1984》致敬”吧。这部“堪称世界文坛讽喻小说的不朽高峰和里程碑式力作。”竟然首先是以当代流行作家的作品为噱头来推荐,就好比我推荐《西游记》时用“七龙...
评分——读奥威尔的《一九八四》 作为一部反极权主义的小说,《一九八四》以一个虚拟的大洋国为背景,将笔触对准了大洋国令人窒息的政治生活。有人说,小说是以斯大林的苏俄时代为摹本,我倒是认为,它是把历史上所有极权国家的特征都集中在一起了。 统治大洋国的是一个名为“老大...
评分奥威尔在书中得出了一个必将到来的悲观结论,我始终不能明白,为什么多数人总是对此视而不见。 我对于1984的看法是:这是一部极为悲观的作品,那种绝望的悲观如同饥饿,寒冷或者肉体的痛楚,你以为用冷漠可以咬牙坚持过去,但结果只是一再证明自己的软弱无力。 造就那种悲观...
在国内如此大环境下,读这本书,真是让人后背一阵发凉。
评分我读的第三本英文原版小说,4天读完,一次并不愉悦的阅读体验
评分开始读1984。想当年读 动物农场 时的惊赞不已。这本的名声更甚,一定不会令我失望。
评分The best Dystopian novel.
