1984

en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 1950
1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. "1984" is still the great modern classic "negative Utopia" - a startling 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 this novel's power, its hold on the imagination of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions - a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."The year is 1984 and war and revolution have left the world unrecognisable. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, is ruled by the Party, led by Big Brother. Mass surveillance is everything and The Thought Police are employed to ensure that no individual thinking is allowed.

Winston Smith works at The Ministry of Truth, carefully rewriting history, but he dreams of freedom and of rebellion. It is here that he meets and falls in love with Julia. They start a secret, forbidden affair - but nothing can be kept secret, and they are forced to face consequences more terrifying than either of them could have ever imagined.

A DYSTOPIAN MASTERPIECE, NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR IS THE POWERFUL AND PROPHETIC NOVEL THAT DEFINED THE 20TH CENTURY.

Notă biografică

George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), was a British novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic renowned for his penetrating social commentary and prophetic literary works. Born in Motihari, India, Orwell spent his early years in British India before moving to England with his family. He attended prestigious schools such as Eton College, but chose a less conventional path, working various jobs, including as a colonial policeman in Burma, an experience that deeply influenced his views on imperialism and social injustice. Orwell is best known for his dystopian novels "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and "Animal Farm," both of which have become classic works of literature, renowned for their chilling portrayal of totalitarianism, political corruption, and the erosion of individual freedoms. His writing style is characterized by clarity, precision, and moral integrity, reflecting his commitment to truth and social justice. Throughout his career, Orwell was a tireless advocate for democratic socialism and a fierce critic of totalitarian regimes, both fascist and communist. He was deeply engaged in the political and social issues of his time, and his essays and journalism cover a wide range of topics, including poverty, class disparity, censorship, and the abuse of power. Orwell's uncompromising commitment to truth and his fearless critique of injustice have made him one of the most influential and enduring voices in 20th-century literature. His works continue to resonate with readers around the world, inspiring generations to question authority, defend freedom, and strive for a more just and equitable society.

Recenzii

“Nineteen Eighty-Four is a remarkable book; as a virtuoso literary performance it has a sustained brilliance that has rarely been matched in other works of its genre…It is as timely as the label on a poison bottle.” –New York Herald Tribune

“A profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book…Orwell’s theory of power is developed brilliantly.” –The New Yorker

“A book that goes through the reader like an east wind, cracking the skin…Such are the originality, the suspense, the speed of writing, and withering indignation that it is impossible to put the book down.” –V. S. Pritchett

“Orwell’s novel escorts us so quietly, so directly, and so dramatically from our own day to the fate which may be ours in the future, that the experience is a blood-chilling one.” –Saturday Review

Textul de pe ultima copertă

While the totalitarianism that provoked George Orwell into writing 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' seems to be passing into oblivion, his harrowing, cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate, and its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade.
