    George Orwell

    Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born in 1903 in India where his father was a civil servant. After studying at Eton, he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma for several years which inspired his first novel, Burmese Days. After two years in Paris, he returned to England to work as a teacher and then in a bookshop. In 1936 he travelled to Spain to fight for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, where he was badly wounded. During the Second World War he worked for the BBC. A prolific journalist and essayist, Orwell wrote some of the most influential books in English literature, including the dystopian Nineteen Eighty-Four and his political allegory Animal Farm. He died from tuberculosis in 1950.

      Increible!! Grandioso!! Interesante! Actual! Todo el mundo debería leerlo! Por cultura general, por aprender del pensamiento, por analizar nuestros comportamientos, los gobiernos que elegimos, la naturaleza humana, el amor, el odio, la esclavitud, la libertad. Es un libro maravilloso!
    • 5/5
      Fantástico! Es un libro que desnuda a la sociedad de de manera genial y conmueve al mismo tiempo al contrastar el mundo presentado por el autor con el que vivimos actualmente.
    • 3/5
      Creo que es una impactante crítica a la sociedad que tristemente no ha pasado de moda ni llegado al punto de no regreso, no disfrute la parte de la pareja, para mi fue algo que el autor se pudo ahorrar. Ame la filosofía del lenguaje y la realidad ; los toques de paranoia y la fina descripción de lo que la coerción puede hacer en un ser humano.
    • 4/5
      La novela de Orwell ilustra de manera brillante las formas en que un individuo se ve afectado ante un gobierno represivo o una figura autocrática y cómo esto afecta todos los aspectos de su vida, desde sus pensamientos, deseos, relaciones personales y familiares, la forma cómo puede o no mover su cuerpo e incluso su sexualidad. Las consecuencias son devastadoras para los suburbios, y a revolución no es más que un grito de aprobación para quienes ejercen el poder. Siento que en algunas partes unas argumentaciones eran innecesarias, pero me gusto la narrativa del realismo político.

      Tragic that you only have this audio book in Spanish. Spanish? Why have the translation to a masterpiece from the 20th century and not have it in English?

      It has been a very long time since I've read this book, but I do remember that I loved it. I think I even read it twice. Back in the days you did not have many of those kind of stories. Now , especially after The Hunger Games, although that series was definitely not the first of that genre, as some have you believe ;) But it became a hype and there are so many A dystopian series now.

      This is a standalone book and it pictures a world where everyone lives in fear of Big brother. Yo know you are always watched. I highly recommend this, especially to younger readers! Great read.
    • 5/5
      Depressing, and worrying. I read this first what feels like an awful long time ago -- if I was in my teens when I first read it, I'd be surprised. It's amazing how influential it is, how much our culture references it. And how little people actually know about it, if quizzed.
    • 5/5
      This has to be the book that made the biggest impression on me. It literally changed my life.
    • 4/5
      I've heard a lot about 1984 and Brave New World (by Aldous Huxley), and decided to read them.

      1984 was well-written. The plot, the characterizations, everything was well-constructed. In fact, it was so well constructed and written that it's final achievement, a pervading hopelessness and a sort of apathy-induced terror linger long after the final page is finished. It is, without a doubt, one of the most depressing books I have ever read.

      I gave it 4 stars because it is well-written and beautifully executed. I would give it 5 stars, if it weren't for the fact that it is such a depressing piece of literature, leaving one with a sort of desperate futility toward the outcome of power, politics, and the possible future imagined therein.

      If you enjoy social commentary, if you relish books that predict chilling futures and have unnerving parallels to reality as we know it, then this is the book for you.

      If, however, you prefer your fiction to be an escape and a pleasure, not a moral or political lesson, then avoid this book at all costs.
    • 4/5
      I suppose I should start by saying that this book is the complete antithesis of who I am as a person. I am all about creativity, combined with happy bubbly things. Yeah, Orwell and I aren't really a match made in heaven as this book is anything but that.

      Most folks I've talked to have read this book in high school or college. Not me, and I'm actually glad I never did. I can't honestly imagine a pimply hormonal teen getting as much out of this as an adult who lives a life of bosses, paychecks, taxes, insurance payments, and society in general. Unfortunately, when I break it down as such, perhaps Orwell is just hitting a little too close to home, especially these days. When you think of the number of ways that we're tracked now - via location services on cell phones, iPads, computers...when every government agency tracks you and then this information (correct or not) seems to find its way to a Google search? Yeah, maybe Orwell knew something we didn't?

      As for the story itself, I understand that it's listed as a classic, but seriously...this is sort of horrifically scary, right????? I mean, we've got some torture going on, major mind control, and who the heck knows which people are on which side and who you can trust? I actually found myself liking Winston at the beginning because, let's face it, he's narrating, and he seems rational. However, toward the end? I was almost convinced he WAS delusional and psychotic. Thanks again, George, for making me wonder about reality. You'd think I would have bonded with Julia, but she was basically all about the sex. I just didn't see much other use for her other than to provide an opportunity for a change of scenery.

      Mind you, with all the twistedness of the story, the most horrific part was the scene in Room 101. Winston and I would have had the EXACT SAME experience here, and I was almost screaming in my car as I listened to the audiobook of this. Wanted to die.

      Orwell summed up his psychotic thriller/classic/horror novel with one of the best quotes around. He's a genius. A twisted, demented, scary one, but genius.

      This upset me so much when I read it in high school that I vowed to never read it again. I have honored that promise thus far.

      For those who have not read “1984” or read it and forgotten it, “1984” is a novel published in 1949 about the totalitarian society that George Orwell imagined in place by 1984. Superficially, it is an expression of the post-war zeitgeist, which was still tainted with the bitter after-taste of Nazism, Fascism and, confronted with new fears of Stalinism and The Atomic Age. On a more academic level, it is a political treatise about citizen complacency and, the mechanics and motives for power. The story itself contains finely wrought tension and sere descriptions of time, place, and character. There is a horrific quality to the story and you need to remind yourself that, this is a work of fiction. This is a near definitive narration of a novel, SP shaping the text with nuance and boldness alike. Small narration and production issues prevented me from grading this higher: A slight lisp tended to spike against the eardrums a bit, causing me to change out headsets to more forgiving speakers; The narrator sounded a slightly rushed in the final tracks; The overall recording is mastered at a very high volume causing me to lower the gain and; finally, there wasn’t an auditory cue to delineate the end of the story from the Appendix (even a longer pause would have been nice.)

      Redacted from the original blog review at dog eared copy, 1984, 05/17/2011. Blog post was based on a journal entry of January 2009.

      Interesting and scary view of how things can get out of control when the government oversteps its boundaries and personal freedom is no longer allowed. For the most part I liked it, but was kind of slow and dry in some areas. (Audiobook)
    • 5/5
      Amazing. The transition from calm to chaos in the last third of the book was perfect and unexpected. The last hundred or so pages my stomach was clenched and I couldn't stop turning the page.
    • 4/5
      This is an amazing, but terrifying book. Amazing what Orwell came up with, and how paralell it is to certain things we see today in society.

      WAR IS PEACE

      FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

      IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

      How long did it take people to start pointing out that these things are already true? Or did it happen immediately?

      The problem with this book is that it's a cliche even to point out that it's a cliche to point out that it's already happening.

      But anyway, hey guys did you know that we've been at war for over a decade, that Republicans say the best thing for the poor is to give tax cuts to the rich, and that whole masses of people don't believe in evolution?
