Sinossi
“Ho scritto libri privi di vita
tutte le volte che non ero mosso
da un intento politico.”
George Orwell
Tre motivi per leggerlo:
Perché è il testamento del più audace scrittore politico del Novecento, che ha saputo raccontare come nessun altro il potere, la sorveglianza e il controllo.
Perché parla di noi, del nostro tempo, mai abbandonandosi alla cupezza di un destino già scritto ma cercando di immaginare e di guardare oltre, di seminare speranza e futuro.
Perché è la storia avvincente di una resistenza personale e civile, qui riproposta in una nuova traduzione, con due contributi di Orwell dedicati al mestiere di scrivere, un ampio saggio di David Bidussa e il “Ritratto sentimentale” di Geno Pampaloni, uno dei primi interventi pubblicati in Italia su Millenovecentottantaquattro.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." In ravaged post-apocalyptic future, the world has divided itself into three totalitarian superpowers: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. The three superstates always in constant never ending war with each other, and relentlessly and mercilessl
This book is far from perfect. Its characters lack depth, its rhetoric is sometimes didactic, its plot (well, half of it anyway) was lifted from Zumyatin’s We , and the lengthy Goldstein treatise shoved into the middle is a flaw which alters the structure of the novel like a scar disfigures a face. Bu Leggi tutto
In George Orwell's 1984, Winston Smith is an open source developer who writes his code offline because his ISP has installed packet sniffers that are regulated by the government under the Patriot Act. It's really for his own protection, though. From, like, terrorists and DVD pirates and stuff. Like
1984 is not a particularly good novel, but it is a very good essay. On the novel front, the characters are bland and you only care about them because of the awful things they live through. As a novel all the political exposition is heavyhanded, and the message completely overrides any sense of story Leggi tutto
This was the book that started my love affair with the dystopian genre. And maybe indirectly influenced my decision to do a politics degree. I was only 12 years old when I first read it but I suddenly saw how politics could be taken and manipulated to tell one hell of a scary and convincing story. I Leggi tutto
I know this is a well loved classic and I definitely enjoyed some parts... but some times I found myself a bit bored :S
