Най-пророческият роман, писан някога! 1984 е безспорно най-важният роман, писан през XX век, чиято стойност само нараства с всеки ден след публикуването му през 1949 г. Антиутопичният свят, който Оруел рисува, е естествено продължение на идеите от алегоричната приказка Фермата на животните, насочени към разкриване на опасността от тоталитарното управление. В този свят абсолютният властник Големия брат и неговите подчинени следят постоянно всички, Партията е вечно права и налага волята си със свирепа жестокост. Миналото постоянно се пренаписва, а бъдещето е оковано в безкрайна война, мизерия и погазване на човешкото ... |

The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: ... |

Уинстън Смит работи в Министерството на истината в Лондон, град от държавата Океания. Неговото служебно задължение е да пренаписва новини от стари вестници, за да станат в съответствие с представяните от установената власт исторически факти, защото: "Който владее миналото, той владее и бъдещето.

"Големият брат те наблюдава" гласи надписът под безброй портрети, чрез видеоекрани всички граждани са под постоянен надзор, а Полицията на мисълта следи за всяко отклонение от официалната идеология, чиито основни постулати са: Войната е мир; Свободата е робство; ... |

Повече от седемдесет години антиутопията 1984 е настолно четиво за всеки, обичащ свободата. Големия брат, наблюдаващ ни денонощно, отдавна се е превърнал в нарицателно. А фалшивите новини са навсякъде. Колкото и прекален да ни се струва описаният тотален контрол, той е познат в историята. Има го и днес в поне една страна. И липсва гаранция, че няма да плъзне отново по света. Освен прекрасна белетристична творба, изпълнена с бунтуваща се тъга и напрежение, този все по-актуален роман на Джордж Оруел е и включена аларма докъде може да стигне обществото, ако се подчинява на властта сляпо и овчедушно. Книга, която всеки ... |

"It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine, wrote Orwell for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished. Its savage attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell 's simple, tragic fable, telling what happens when the animals drive out Mr Jones and attempt to run the farm themselves, has since become a world-famous classic." The Authoritative ... |
