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.

評分He's George Orwell. The only person who could write this well and this simple.
評分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.

評分隻能說小巧輕便,拿來被背書很方便。的確也是選瞭幾篇很重要(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。
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...
評分Simon Leys《中国的阴影》、Arthur Koestler《中午的黑暗》。 将来人们会对奥威尔评价更低。一如将来德国和中国的灾难还会再来。人类记吃不记打。 奥威尔是我见过的最健全的知识分子,几乎没有之一。他唯一的问题是俄国思想家也都有的问题:因为出身高于工人,无法...
評分 評分这本是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。 ...
