Nineteen Eighty Four, by George Orwell - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted imply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.
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...
评分最近发生两件事。 一,在网上看到的。Jessie J的演唱会视频,跟吴莫愁同台唱PriceTag。有人问吴莫愁旁边的那女的是谁。有人说这女的唱的明显不如吴莫愁的原唱。 二,身边的。一朋友说他朋友推荐他看《欢乐合唱团》,说很好看。他一看,不就是美剧《Glee》吗。 刚好最近在看...
评分最近断断续续在看乔治奥威尔的《一九八四》,别人问我它是什么书的时候,我会很严肃地和他们说:这是一本很恐怖的书。 说它是恐怖之书不是说这书写的是恐怖故事,而是让你看了以后你会觉得不寒而栗,你会庆幸自己暂时没有生活在那样的氛围之中。 单看我的这题目吧,...
评分拿到这一版的《1984》,还没有看到内容就已经感到些许悲哀。悲哀可能就来源于这句“日本著名作家村上春树以1Q84》向《1984》致敬”吧。这部“堪称世界文坛讽喻小说的不朽高峰和里程碑式力作。”竟然首先是以当代流行作家的作品为噱头来推荐,就好比我推荐《西游记》时用“七龙...
评分《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...
开始读1984。想当年读 动物农场 时的惊赞不已。这本的名声更甚,一定不会令我失望。
