Rok 1984

by: George Orwell (author)

Ostrzeżenie, które wstrząsnęło światem i być może zapobiegło katastrofie ...

Antyutopia George'a Orwella powstała w 1948 r. jako kolejne - po "Folwarku zwierzęcym" (1945) - ostrzeżenie przed powierzchowną atrakcyjnością ideologii komunistycznej. Socjalista z przekonania, człowiek, który na własnej skórze poznał co to nędza ("Na dnie w Paryżu i Londynie", 1933), uczestnik wojny domowej w Hiszpanii, gdzie walczył po stronie republikańskiej ("Hołd Katalonii", 1938), Orwell znacznie wcześniej niż inni intelektualiści zachodni zrozumiał, że iluzoryczna droga ku powszechnemu szczęściu w rzeczywistości prowadzi w ciemny i ślepy zaułek.
Gorycz pozwoliła mu stworzyć dzieło wybitne, satyrę polityczną o niesłychanej sile, powieść, która na trwałe weszła do kanonu literatury światowej.

text 1984 by George Orwell

This may be more timely then when it was written. Winston Smith is not following the Party's rhetoric. He is thinking and realizes he has other memories and thoughts than what the Party wants good Party members to have. He finally sees a way to rebel but the Party gets to him. There is so much ...

text British Big Brother: "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell

Do you think it matters greatly that Orwell may have plagearised a good portion of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" because of the significance of the novel? Funny how soon this novel has passed the 60 years mark and we're just now "finding this all out". In our world - the age of the internet, it seems these...

text Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (audiobook)

I've been meaning to reread this for a while and I'm glad I finally got around to it. A lot has been said about this book, but I guess for me it represents an interesting way to look at human psychology and the nature of truth and doublethink (the cognitive dissonance is awesome). Really the only ...

text 1984 by George Orwell

This book is quite terrifying. I think most everyone but me has read it or was forced to read it in high school. I was a delinquent student and missed out on this book somehow and decided to read it now. Don’t ask me why. It is perhaps a very bad time to decide to read this book about a world where ...
