作者简介
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
这两天看乔治奥威尔的《我为什么写作》，很多人是因为他的《动物庄园》和《1984》知道他的，也认为他的作品是反共的作品，第一遍并没有觉得太好，今天看第二遍和结合现实的一些情景觉得确实是好作品，194几年的作品对于今天的现实还有很大的隐喻作用。中午和两个大哥喝酒吃饭，...
评分由布莱尔到奥威尔 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...
评分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...
评分因要外出办事，预计要排很长时间的队，在书架搜寻许久，要找一本轻薄的书，放在包里拿取方便，就选了这本。这本书买了很长时间，一直未读。奥威尔的《1984》读过两遍，依然记得开头的句子，那是四月，天气还未完全转暖，主人公进了一扇门，故事由此展开。 《动物农场》和《1984...
评分2008-10-29 14:13:54 乔治·奥威尔在1931年8月发表了一篇名为《绞刑》的纪实文章，记述了他在缅甸时所见到和参与的一次绞刑。这篇文章不动声色地记述了处死一个囚犯的全过程，在我看来，代表着奥威尔在他的叙述风格中的最高成就。 死囚是个印度人，“身材矮小，...
用户评价
乔治奥威尔说：在我缺乏政治目的的时候，我所写的东西，无一例外地都毫无生气，都成了华而不实的段落、没有意义的句子、矫揉造作的形容词，总之，都是废话。

评分则本书好小好薄呀
评分完全不知道他在写什么。。。
评分As one who is barely interested in politics, I'm fully overcome by the greatness of Orwell--his conscience, his insight, his style. Highly recommended: England Your England(Part I of The Lion and the Unicorn), Politics and English Language, Why I Write.
