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.
精彩书评:
《1984》是一部伟大的作品,展现出不可磨灭的才华,令其他同类作品无法望其项背。对时代来说,它仿佛毒药瓶上的一枚标签。——《纽约先驱论坛报》
“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
一部深刻的作品,令人不由得感到惊恐。奥威尔主义的力量被发扬光大。——《纽约客》
“A profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book… Orwell’s theory of power is developed brilliantly.”—The New Yorker
奥威尔的小说陪伴着我们,如此冷静,如此直接,阅读起来是一种血液都冰凉的体验。——《星期六评论》
“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 .
乔治·奥威尔就极权主义危险发出的警告,给他的同时代人和未来读者留下了深刻印象。这本书的书名和其中创造的很多新词,比如“新语”,都成了现代政治中丑恶现象的代名词。——《韦氏文学百科词典》
Orwell’s warning of the dangers of totalitarianism made a deep impression on his contemporaries and upon subsequent readers, and the book’s title and many of its coinages, such as NEWSPEAK, became bywords for modern political abuses.—The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel by English author George Orwell published in 1949. The novel is set in Airstrip One (formerly known as Great Britain), a province of the superstate Oceania in a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation, dictated by a political system euphemistically named English Socialism (or Ingsoc in the government’s invented language, Newspeak) under the control of a privileged elite of the Inner Party, that persecutes individualism and independent thinking as “thoughtcrime.”
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 simply 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.

From Library Journal
This 50th-anniversary commemorative edition of Orwell's masterpiece is lavishly illustrated by Ralph Steadman. In addition, it contains Orwell's proposed introduction to the English-language version as well as his preface to the Ukrainian text. Though all editions of Animal Farm are equal, this one is more equal than others.

From AudioFile
This is a delightful audio presentation! Acclaimed British actor Timothy West brings to life this well-known tale of revolution on a British farm by the animals, a satire of the former communist regime in the former Soviet Union. Orwell's text is at times tiresome, but the audio presentation never drags. West's presentation of the various characters is great--pigs, horses, mules, chickens--even bleating lambs. West also sings, in his best revolutionary voice, "Beasts of England." The only drawback to the audio presention is that there can be no footnotes; Orwell's Britishisms and the various references to communism go by unexplained. Despite this drawback, the meaning of the tale is clear. M.L.C. Winner of AUDIOFILE's Earphones Award.

In 1936, Orwell went to fight for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and was wounded. In 1938 he was admitted into a sanatorium and from then on was never fully fit. George Orwell died in London in 1950. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
这本《动物庄园》的影印版,从拿到手的那一刻起,就散发着一种久经风霜的厚重感,那种老式平装书特有的纸张微黄和书页边缘的细微卷曲,让人立刻感觉仿佛穿越回了那个特定的年代。书的装帧虽然简单,但却异常结实,翻阅起来毫不费力,即便是初次捧读,也能迅速沉浸其中,不去计较那些现代精装本的华丽装饰。我特别喜欢它使用的字体,排版清晰,字距适中,即便是长时间阅读,眼睛也不会感到疲劳,这对于一部需要反复琢磨其深层含义的作品来说,简直是太重要了。它的便携性也极佳,轻轻松松就能塞进背包的侧袋,陪伴我度过通勤路上的漫长时光。拿到书后,我做的第一件事就是仔细端详封面设计,虽然可能不是最引人注目的版本,但那种朴实无华的设计,反而更贴合故事内核的严肃性,它没有用过于夸张的色彩或图像来哗众取宠,而是用一种克制的视觉语言,暗示着即将展开的寓言故事的沉重分量。这种对阅读体验的尊重,使得每一次翻开书页,都像是一次郑重的仪式。
评分让我印象极为深刻的是它对于符号和隐喻的运用,简直是炉火纯青。那些动物角色的象征意义,远超出了简单的文学修饰,它们成为了特定社会阶层、特定历史人物的清晰代指。但最妙的地方在于,即便你对相关的历史背景知之甚少,你依然能感受到那种不公是如何在群体中滋生的。比如,对“磨坊”的执着追求,那种对物质进步的盲目崇拜,被描绘得既可笑又可悲。还有那些反复修改的“七诫”,每一次的修订都对应着权力对历史和真理的篡改,这种对“记忆的政治”的深刻揭示,才是这部作品超越时代的价值所在。它不仅仅是关于一个特定农场的寓言,它更像是提供了一套观察任何集权体制运作的通用分析工具。每一次重读,都会发现以前未曾察觉的微小细节,比如某个角色对口号的机械重复,都指向了更深层次的服从机制。
评分这本书的结构安排,简直就是教科书级别的示范。它遵循着清晰的时间线索,从最初的革命激情到后来的权力巩固与异化,每一步的推进都显得那么自然而然,却又步步紧逼,让人感到无力反抗的宿命感。我特别留意了小说中关键转折点的描写,比如某些核心人物态度的微妙转变,作者是如何通过细微的肢体语言和对话频率的变化来暗示这些深刻的政治倒退的。这种叙事上的渐进式腐败,比任何突如其来的暴力场面都更令人不寒而栗。每一次翻页,我都带着一种预期的恐惧,生怕看到哪个曾经充满理想的形象彻底沦陷。小说的长度也恰到好处,它没有丝毫拖泥带水,每一个章节的收尾都像是一个悬念的设置,驱使着读者迫不及待地想知道接下来农场会发生什么。这种紧凑感,让读者没有喘息的机会去质疑故事的逻辑,只能被情节推着向前走,直到真相以最残酷的方式揭晓。
评分从一个纯粹的阅读者的角度来看,这本书带给我的情感冲击是持久且复杂的。它并非提供了一个轻松愉快的阅读体验,相反,它带来的是一种清醒的痛苦和对人性的深刻反思。我合上书的那一刻,不是如释重负,而是带着一种沉甸甸的怅然若失感。那些曾经天真的动物们,用他们的牺牲,换来了新一轮的压迫,这种循环的绝望感,久久不能散去。书的结尾,我甚至忍不住想象,如果当时某个角色做了不同的选择,故事是否会有不同的走向?然而,作者无情地展示了,在特定的结构性力量面前,个体反抗的局限性。这种读完后萦绕心头的不安和警醒,正是优秀政治寓言作品的标志。它强迫你走出舒适区,去审视那些你习以为常的权力结构,让你思考“什么是自由”的真正含义。
评分阅读体验的流畅性,很大程度上取决于译者的功力,但对于原版书来说,那种未经转述的纯粹语言冲击力是无可替代的。拿到这本书后,我发现作者的叙事节奏把握得极其精准,开篇几页就迅速将场景设定在那个充满希望却又暗流涌动的农场,笔触之老辣,令人惊叹。马克的语言风格,初看起来简单直接,仿佛只是在描述一群动物的日常,但字里行间却蕴含着惊人的讽刺力度。我尤其欣赏他如何巧妙地运用动物的习性来映射人类社会的复杂性。那些对话,短促而有力,每一个词语的选择都像是经过精心计算,绝无冗余。读到“四条腿好,两条腿坏”那句口号反复出现时,那种循环往复的、令人窒息的宣传效果,透过文字直接穿透读者的心防。它不是那种需要停下来查阅大量背景资料才能理解的作品,它的力量在于其普适性和直观性,但这种直观性背后却隐藏着对权力和意识形态构建最深刻的解剖。
