George Orwell

Son of an English administrator stationed in India (in the "Opium Department"), Orwell (born Eric Blair) returned to Henley-on-Thames in England with his mother when he was 2. He eventually attended Eton, becoming a somewhat rebellious boy who questioned his family's middle-class values. From 1921 to 1927, he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, a job he loathed, and after he resigned he devoted himself to learning to write, first in England, then in Paris, where he began to publish articles on social issues under the pen name of George Orwell. All his life, Orwell was aware of and outraged by poverty and unemployment and the inequities of the oppressive English class system. Impoverished himself, he worked in the kitchen of a Paris hotel, out of which came his memoir, DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON. He wrote several novels during this period--the first to be published was A CLERGYMAN'S DAUGHTER in 1935--as well as his classic study of Yorkshire coal miners, THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER (1937). (Later in life, Orwell commented, "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism...") Orwell fought with the antifascists in the Spanish Civil War, detailing his experiences in HOMAGE TO CATALONIA (1938), and during World War II he wrote for the BBC. He is credited with coining the expression "cold war." Orwell's scathing political satire, ANIMAL FARM, was published after the war, in 1945. His first wife also died that year, and he and his son moved to the island of Jura off the Scottish coast, where Orwell wrote his most famous and influential novel, 1984, which was published in 1949. He remarried shortly after, but in 1950 he died of the tuberculosis that had long plagued him.

读后感

这里我重点谈谈最后一篇《Why I Write》。 我看的是南京大学出版社《我为什么写作》一书选文的最后一篇。这本寒酸素朴的书因其翻译和图书质量在网上受到一些读者的訾议,但由于学术出版社有意提供了双语对照文本,使得该书的分数得到了挽救。总体来说,还算不错...

一本董乐山先生译的奥威尔的随笔集(奥威尔称为散文,也就是英语国家通用的有别于小说诗歌的Essay),这里收集了近20篇奥威尔于不同时期发表在不同杂志上的随笔,反映了他的童年生活,工作经历,革命经历,以及并不太长的作为一个严肃作家的经历。 我觉得仅其中一篇《我为什...

这本是09年读的最用心的一本书,边读边划,摘抄竟做了一个本子,当然那个本子是薄了点。刚才看有人说,只看后面的英文,买这本真是捡了个大便宜,的确如此的。Orwell的1984最初读的中文版,英文版的电子版本下了一直没看,若不是仔细读了这本,肯定错过了Orwell。 ...

由布莱尔到奥威尔 读奥威尔小说时万般揣测这个灵魂的真实和清白,而本书开篇即是西蒙·黎斯的《奥威尔论》,伟大的灵魂立即被赋予了血肉之躯,使文字背后的奥威尔有了性情。 “正直、诚实、单纯、平等的信念、简朴的生活、简朴的写作、简朴的语言,总而言之,一个人几乎不顾...

只能說小巧輕便,拿來被背書很方便。的確也是選了幾篇很重要(都超經典的)的散文(這幾篇我確實很喜歡)...但是這樣就匯成一本,讓人感覺是在圈錢。

I didn't finished it though. it still a fantastic book

评分

The main part is actually the book of The Lion and The Unicorn, which IMO is the best book that reflects his political orientation. And the last essay is also in support of his political opinion in terms of writing. I do love his writing because he never uses complicated and exaggerating words.

It helps you understand Orwell better. I was surprised to know that he was a socialist once. His Politics and the English Language is a must-read if you're interested in political writing.

评分

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
