Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism.
Considered perhaps the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture, Orwell wrote fiction, polemical journalism, literary criticism and poetry. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (published in 1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945)—they have together sold more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author. His 1938 book Homage to Catalonia, an account of his experiences as a volunteer on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War, together with numerous essays on politics, literature, language and culture, are widely acclaimed.
Orwell's influence on contemporary culture, popular and political, continues decades after his death. Several of his neologisms, along with the term "Orwellian"—now a byword for any totalitarian or manipulative social phenomenon opposed to a free society—have entered the vernacular.
First published in 1949, George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" has lost none of the impact with which it first hit readers. Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101.
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...
評分再看了一遍《一九八四》。是在对自己提醒。每一天过去,困囿在自己的小情绪里,其中有多少关乎这个世界的命运呢。没有。每一天过去,偶尔升起的失落感幸福感那么隆重,沉沦其中,似乎就可以称之为生命的全部了。欢喜,悲伤,其实真的有多少关乎人类的命运关于未来的人类呢。没...
評分自从一九九零年夏天来美,身不由己一直有国难归。去年十月,有友人约我从华盛顿回北京去讲学,我一口就答应了。 八年中,多少至亲好友一个接一个谢世了。远一些的不说,前年六月,董乐山从北京寄来《汪曾祺悄然归去》的剪报。曾祺和我相知六十多年,九零年夏我离京前曾到他家...
評分 評分《一九八四》的伟大是不用任何废话的,因为它本身就是一个伟大的预言。甚至有人称这本书为“社会政治幻想小说”。 和我对《动物庄园》的评价一样,中国人喜欢《一九八四》是不言而喻的,因为他们有着非常切身的体会。以至于我总是怀疑,《一九八四》能够在中国出版,都是一件令...
看完瞭。。。為什麼結局是這樣。。。

评分非常棒,I would like to read it on smooth creamy paper…
评分到現在我依然堅信政治活動於人類的進步或是美好事物而言幾乎在起著反作用,曾經一度我一直在思考為什麼人們會堅持不懈的堅持著這些讓世界變得不美好的事情,後來我纔知道,人類就是不美好的,對於這個世界人類確實是汙點般的存在,我們與所謂美好相距甚遠,所以說那些追尋美好事物的人們可能纔是“異類”,而這些追名逐利追求權力,控製等等的人們,其實就是人類本身。
