The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 ...more [close] The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia"--a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of the whole generations, or the power of its admonitions--a power that seem to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language, and a belief in democratic socialism.
In addition to his literary career Orwell served as a police officer with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922-1927 and fought with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1937. Orwell was severely wounded when he was shot through his throat. Later the organization that he had joined when he joined the Republican cause, The Workers Party of Marxist Unification (POUM), was painted by the pro-Soviet Communists as a Trotskyist organization (Trotsky was Joseph Stalin's enemy) and disbanded. Orwell and his wife were accused of "rabid Trotskyism" and tried in absentia in Barcelona, along with other leaders of the POUM, in 1938. However by then they had escaped from Spain and returned to England.
Between 1941 and 1943, Orwell worked on propaganda for the BBC. In 1943, he became literary editor of the Tribune, a weekly left-wing magazine. He was a prolific polemical journalist, article writer, literary critic, reviewer, poet, and writer of fiction, and, considered perhaps the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture.
Orwell is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (published in 1949) and the satirical novella Animal Farm (1945) — they have together sold more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author. His 1938 book Homage to Catalonia, an account of his experiences as a volunteer on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War, together with numerous essays on politics, literature, language, and culture, have been widely acclaimed.
Orwell's influence on contemporary culture, popular and political, continues decades after his death. Several of his neologisms, along with the term "Orwellian" — now a byword for any oppressive or manipulative social phenomenon opposed to a free society — have entered the vernacular.

在之前的一些群体事件中,这本书不断地被躺枪,很多人也这个主义那个主义说得好像头头是道,事实上多半也是一知半解主观臆断罢了。但问题并不在这里,主义也好体制也罢,其背后的驱动力终归还是人事,而无论是大家喜闻乐见的公知和五毛,甚至是那些名声在外的大思想家,也往往忽略了这一点。框架永远是死的,并且在任何一个理论落笔成文的那一刻就一定过时、一定无用;唯有天道和人事才是常换常新,脱离了这些一切都不过是书生之见... 在之前的一些群体事件中,这本书不断地被躺枪,很多人也这个主义那个主义说得好像头头是道,事实上多半也是一知半解主观臆断罢了。但问题并不在这里,主义也好体制也罢,其背后的驱动力终归还是人事,而无论是大家喜闻乐见的公知和五毛,甚至是那些名声在外的大思想家,也往往忽略了这一点。框架永远是死的,并且在任何一个理论落笔成文的那一刻就一定过时、一定无用;唯有天道和人事才是常换常新,脱离了这些一切都不过是书生之见,不可取。 (展开)

令我难过的不是身处的国家的历史与现状,而是读1984的人倾向于將它局限地解读为具体的国家与历史,而1984甚至同时是基督教的预言,西方文明的预言,人类的预言

开始以为是本政治小说,而且是相当隐射相当预言的那种,后来发现这还是一本哲学小说,跟我的唯心论一拍而合。读完最后一句话,合书大叹masterpiece。关于反乌托邦的描写确实名不虚传,所有宗教传说的地狱描写与之相比都显得单薄而小儿科,这本书的想象力至今都可以挑战人类对痛苦黑暗的定义。但更重要的是,奥维尔探索的是人类思想与现实的交汇,在极端唯心但又不可思议的合理下,战争是和平,自由是奴役,无知是力量。... 开始以为是本政治小说,而且是相当隐射相当预言的那种,后来发现这还是一本哲学小说,跟我的唯心论一拍而合。读完最后一句话,合书大叹masterpiece。关于反乌托邦的描写确实名不虚传,所有宗教传说的地狱描写与之相比都显得单薄而小儿科,这本书的想象力至今都可以挑战人类对痛苦黑暗的定义。但更重要的是,奥维尔探索的是人类思想与现实的交汇,在极端唯心但又不可思议的合理下,战争是和平,自由是奴役,无知是力量。当一个人可以被扭曲成爱他自己的恨时,无疑的,他的胜利就是在他死前,有那么零点几秒,能让这个恨解脱出来,让一个真实的念头和感情伴着死亡在这个世界上存在并永生。 (展开)
