Nov 09, Leo. Is Orwell turning in his grave? Does his epitaph read. Don't say I never told you so! Which pigeon hole? What label?
What career? When a car driver loses control of the vehicle and strays from the path that was ahead, the car careers off the road.
One might crash. One is no longer on the journey one originally set out on. One is lost. Off the beaten track. So, when one is a child and asked what career one wants, esoterically it means how can one be swayed or crashed and stopped from what one may want to be when one grows up.
The only answer a child should give to their teacher indoctrinater is These authorities with all the powers? Deciding what we say, or do, or go, from their Ivory Towers A deviant neighbour moves in next door, behaviour abnormal, and hoarding trash Puts his waste in his shed, a festering, mouldy stash Attracting rats, mice, flies and vermin of all kinds Breaking other residents resolve, distorting their minds For when the community complain about it, every day, week in week out, all the time These authorities point the finger at us, accuse us of a Bloody Hate Crime!
Rationale has been replaced, with the word Hate As the lines blur, in this New World Order, is it too late?
To change this world? To take a stance? Maybe our last Chance! This world is going to Hell in a Shitstorm!
If we don't restore the Earth's Balance. Crawling all over society Police or Po-Lice? These parasites, are only there to Scare To enforce Order, in the chaos they Create On behest of the Magicians behind the curtains, the One's that preach Hate.
In this Cube, this false construct, this Square. So look around, see the whole, and Beware! I am full aware of what is going on in this pursuit for a New World Order, an Old World Order, whereby the void between the few and the majority broadens.
I am so frustrated how the Sheeple just seem to lap it up. A cell phone. A smart cell phone that is all singing and dancing It is called a Cell phone for a reason.
Like the Net and the Web. Soon all appliances and mob devices will be Smart. If one does not own one then when 5G is rolled out and the Smart Grid comes into being, one will be left behind.
Soon all money paid in wages or commerce will be digital and people will not survive in the New Virtual World unless one is chipped or connected to the 5G network.
Understand that money is phony. It is paper or a figure on a PC screen. Soon to be a digital concept, like in the film In Time.
Money used to be made of copper, silver and gold. This is when coins actually held value, worth it's weight in gold actually meant something.
Then the Templars invented the Banking system, now they are called Freemasons a Fiat pyramid system that is illegal yet, no person seems to care.
That is the way it is. Only because of ignorance. Acquiescence, Taxation is a fraud. It is theft. Time to wake up before it is too late. And the female freemasonic Eastern Star.
Maybe I have said too much but, I don't care anymore. That is today's Rant. Everybody should read and also watch the film.
Social media is a cage full of starved rats and all of us have our heads stuck in there now, like it or not.
What can I possibly say about this amazing novel, by George Orwell, that hasn't been already said by many who have read the book for over half a century.
When it is said that the book is 'haunting', 'nightmarish', and 'startling' any reader would have to agree! This well known novel grips the reader from the beginning and does not even let go of the grip at the finished reading.
A classic you won't want to miss if you haven't taken the time to read it yet. I actually listened to this novel What can I possibly say about this amazing novel, by George Orwell, that hasn't been already said by many who have read the book for over half a century.
I actually listened to this novel on audio and Simon Prebble was the 'perfect' narrator. View all 35 comments. Winston is a very complex, sane person in a world full of insanity and utter destitution.
Julia is on par with Winston, but other than the charming and mysterious O'Brien, no other character is developed enough to be anything but a filler, someone to push the plot along.
In any other novel this would be a bad thing, but in this world it is perfect, and it's exactly what those people are in any case.
It is so superbly written I cannot fault it at all concerning that. At the beginning I was drawn in so far that I was almost in love.
It was a five-star book up until Julia turned up: whilst I completely understand her character and her paradoxical nature being so openly physically against Big Brother and yet intelligence-wise and mentally not , I did not like her even remotely, but I understood her character fully.
The other thing that put me off was the huge info-dump. Whilst I completely understood that this was an intentional info-drop and it really could not have been conveyed to either the reader or the character in any other way, it really made the whole thing very disjointed.
Again, it felt hugely intentional but I still did not enjoy it. Overall, there's really nothing I can fault except my own opinions.
Good writing is Fact: punctuation in the correct places, the right use of words, syntax and all that; building up worlds and characters to a certain degree of solidness.
Enjoyment of writing is Opinion: characters being likeable, understandable; worlds being full or non-descript. This was a perfect book that I simply had a few too many low opinions of to be delighted by it completely.

I really enjoyed reading this, but there were moments when I wasn't invested in the story and wanted to take a break from it, mostly in the last half of the book.
This book! This was a reread - the last time I read this was over 20 years ago and I wanted to see if the 5 star rating and its standing in one of my top 3 favorite books held up - and it most certainly does.
If this book was written today in the midst of the slew of dystopian novels that come out, it may not have stood out. But, this book was way ahead of its time.
Written in a post WWII era where the fears of dictatorships and brutal tyranny were fresh in the minds of the people, this book plays off that fear and adds a dark vision of a potential future.
This is where the genius of Orwell comes in. The book is mainly the manifesto of the Party that the main character is seeking to rebell against.
But, the ideology and descriptions of this dystopian world are not presented in a boring way - they are fascinating. The fact that Orwell created this world and laid out not only a terrifying political environment, but the rules for the new language they were creating, is beyond amazing.
Finally, some of the things he describes sound all too possible in our current world. The controversial elections this week in the US only added to the intensity of this book.
Read this! Especially if you are a fan of modern dystopia, you must read the fore fathers - and Brave New World. And, remember - Big Brother is watching!
View all 21 comments. The colour of this book is grey, relentless grey: of skin, sky, food, floor, walls, mind, life itself.
Added piquancy comes from general decay, drudgery, exploitation, chronic sickness, and malaise. There is also sex and non-sexual bondage, domination, and torture.
On the other hand, I gather Fifty Shades lacks page after page of heavy-handed political theory, so on that criterion, it might be ahead of Have We Reached ?
On the other hand, Winston is uncritical - enthusiastic even - about her promiscuity. And in each case, it's a denial of the dogma that this is the original sin.
The patent nonsense that people believe and share, without ever engaging the weakest of critical faculties is staggering.
Most of those are trivial compared with the lies of Big Brother, but they show how easy it is to believe what everyone else believes, regardless of ample evidence to the contrary.
Scary stuff. He campaigned in the style of an autocratic, narcissistic demagogue. He had a long track record of flagrantly denying obvious, provable truths, even on trivial matters.
The day after numerous photos and other measures showed unimpressive attendance at his inauguration, rather than blame poor weather or practical and financial difficulties of travel, Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary flat-out denied realistic estimates, refused to take questions, and threatened to crack down on the press.
The resulting furore led to Kellyanne Conway, a Trump Strategist, defended him, saying he had merely presented "Alternative Facts". It was their final, most essential command… And yet he was in the right!
They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change.
Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth's centre. With the feeling that he was speaking to O'Brien, and also that he was setting forth an important axiom, he wrote Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.
If that is granted, all else follows. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.
There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad. It relates to dreams, premonitions, hallucinations, and in sanity.
Confusion from deprivation and torture is one thing, but there are possible magical-realist aspects. A country landscape is also familiar from a dream, and he has a muddled dream about the coral paperweight, his mother and a Jewish woman.
Conditions in Airstrip One are dire, with food and basic services in very limited supply, but sanity is scarcest of all.
Again and again, brief, apparently trivial things turn out to be significant. This is really an extreme form of linguistic determinism aka Sapir-Whorf hypothesis : the idea that the structure of a language can affect the cognition of those who use it.
However, it's worth noting that the appendix, written after the main story, is in conventional English. Feelings — and Troublesome Questions This is a grey, cold book.
Even the lust and passion it contains is chilling. Would you really? If you tell all, but secretly love, are you loyal?
If you kept the small rules, you could break the big ones. What about emotional pain? The torture was real. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once.
OLD Review from The year may be long passed, but this book is more pertinent than ever: big brother is watching us, history is rewritten though that has always been true and free speech is constrained albeit often under the misused guise of political correctness.
It's a shame that the humorous TV programme "Room " and reality TV franchise "Big Brother" have distracted people from the seriousness of Orwell's message.
I reread this recently, knowing my mind from a few years ago is different from my mind now. But it was surprisingly just as scary! Maybe even more so, if that is possible!!
I wonder if there is someone who has read and has not felt angry and helpless. It is a good book. It is so good that it made my want to throw away my Kindle.
Martin's series. I also wonder if this world Orwell d I reread this recently, knowing my mind from a few years ago is different from my mind now.
I also wonder if this world Orwell describes is that far from ours. Big Brother may have become a stupid internet meme and an even stupider TV show if there are fans here sorrynotsorry , but that somehow makes it even more frightening.
In the oppression is very in your face, but in reality it is hidden through nice words and fancy laws. At the end of the day, it really makes you ask yourself if safety and security are really what you want.

Translation from Newspeak: Excellent, accurate analysis of oppressive, selective society in well-written Standard English reflecting on the the capacity to hold two contradictory opinions for truth at the same time and on the effectiveness of protective stupidity as a means to keep a power structure stable.
There is not much left to say about this prophetic novel by Orwell which has not been said over and over again since its pu Doubleplusgood Maxitruth in Oldspeak on Doublethink and Crimestop!
There is not much left to say about this prophetic novel by Orwell which has not been said over and over again since its publication at the beginning of the Cold War in There are obviously elements which refer directly to Stalinist socialism, and the life conditions of people in the s, but what strikes as sadly true, not for Communist propaganda behind the historical Iron Curtain, but for the celebrated democracies in the Western tradition, is the idea of rewriting history and altering facts a posteriori into their opposite to suit political agendas, and the usurpation of scientific and political language to follow a path of absolute brainwashing.
Reading this novel for the third time with the speeches of the current President of the United States and his followers ringing in my ears, it is hard not to cringe at the reduction of language that Orwell predicted in "" : "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?
In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Very dishonest! Total loser! You are fake news!
Russia is fake news! The failing NYTimes! The largest! The best! Running like a fine-tuned machine! The least racist!
The most humble! The one with the best polls, for the negative ones are fake! The problem with dictatorships, and dogmas of a specific faith, is that they will never shy away from usurping and then destroying the generally accepted conventions of communication if it serves their purposes.
Their aim, they claim, is to protect unborn life, which sounds honourable until you start to think about their opinions about and treatment of human beings that already dwell on earth: they are conservatives, mostly pro weapons, pro ideological wars, pro death penalty, anti welfare, anti climate change and anti health care.
He loved Big Brother! Do I feel it works? Absolutely, I feel it works. You can force a human being to speak against his or her will, using torture.
And as long as you are not finicky regarding the accuracy of the received confession, you will be able to report results. An easy task for any doublethinker.
And please do not confuse that with information! Really bad. So unfair. So dishonest. The most dishonest information in the world. Total loser information.

Stalin was going strong. Franco was undisturbed. The last third of the book is a long and horrifying torture and brainwashing session, to eradicate freedom of thought and establish utter insanity.
However, it has become alongside The Time Machine , Brave New World , perhaps The Man in the High Castle and a handful others one of the canonical landmarks of political satire or, as they later coined it, dystopia.
I remember first reading this book in some secondary English class —it did not make much of an impression at the time. Brave New World , by contrast, appears like an almost cheerful, jovial story.
Orwell's anti-revolutionary assumptions the same as in Animal Farm are indeed debatable. However, I wonder how this nightmarish masterpiece has become such a frequent reference in quasi-mundane dinner parties.
It is not impossible that Hannah Arendt read when writing The Origins of Totalitarianism a couple of years after Orwell's death.
My favourite film adaptation, however, remains Brazil by Terry Gilliam. Blade Runner , too, borrows much of its Los Angeles architecture from 's Miniluv pyramidal building descriptions.
Overall, the film is bleak, dark and heartrending, just as Orwell's novel. John Hurt, Suzanna Hamilton and Richard Burton this was his last film performance are all outstanding.
It just reminded me how the whole Ingsoc business was foreshadowing the current media manipulation, disinformation, fear mongering and bullshitting in every shape and form, exerted by authoritarians like Putin, Trump and others.

My preparedness for the regime change taking place in the United States--with elements of the Electoral College, the Kremlin and the FBI helping to install a failed business promoter who the majority of American voters did not support in the election--begins with by George Orwell.
Like many, this novel was assigned reading for me in high school. What stood out to me then was that I needed to finish it because there would be a test.
Studying how civics is supposed to work in 3rd period My preparedness for the regime change taking place in the United States--with elements of the Electoral College, the Kremlin and the FBI helping to install a failed business promoter who the majority of American voters did not support in the election--begins with by George Orwell.
Studying how civics is supposed to work in 3rd period government did not prepare me in 7th period English for this harrowing and precise depiction of fear and hatred run amok.
At least, what George Orwell thought postwar England might be like in in the future. Great Britain is now governed by Oceania and resembles a Warsaw Pact nation--the Party controls every action and thought of its miserable population through propaganda, surveillance and torture--but what's happened is that an atomic war in the s left survivors in the United States and Western Europe desperate for law and order.
Party members who pledge absolute loyalty to a figure known as Big Brother have their essential needs provided for, while the lower caste are known as Proles and regarded as rubbish.
It sucks here! Like many great literary characters, he does not feel well. Winston is employed in the Records Department, altering or as it's officially known, rectifying articles for The Times which no longer adhere to the reality of The Party.
Winston suffers from an ulcer on his leg and like many, subsists on Victory Gin. He leaves work on his lunch break to return his flat in Victory Gardens, hiding in a nook where he believes the telescreen installed in his home cannot see him.
He begins a handwritten diary in an old book, with paper, that he found in a junk shop. For a moment he was seized by a kind of hysteria.
The next moment he started violently. There was a knocking at the door. There are periodic shortages of essential goods like razor blades and a perpetual war with Oceania's foe, Eurasia.
At least the Party says so. No one trusts anyone else. In addition to hidden microphones, there are informers and spies everywhere prepared to turn you in to the Thought Police for thought crimes.
Children most of all revel in ratting out their Outer Party moms and dads. It was always at night — the arrests invariably happened at night.
The sudden jerk out of sleep, the rough hand shaking your shoulder, the lights glaring in your eyes, the ring of hard faces round the bed.
In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared, always during the night.
Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten.
But Winston's mind is his own. He's old enough to keep a mental inventory of the inconsistencies of the Party--like the one that says they invented aeroplanes--and contemplate that the glance of a co-worker named O'Brien reveals a fellow rebel.
Believing that the only hope to overthrow Big Brother lies with the proles, Winston ventures into the slums. He buys an old man a pint and grills him for information on the past.
Everyone seems blind, except, to Winston's terror, a dark-haired woman he works with at the Ministry of Truth. She sees Winston in the slums.
Just when things start to slow, there is a love story introduced between Winston and his co-worker, Julia. She works at the Fiction Department, operating the press that's kinda hot that cranks out the only books that are allowed in Oceania.
Winston initially suspects her of being a typical frigid Party femmebot, but Julia slips him a love note and arranges a series meetings with the aplomb of a spy.
Separated in age by about fifteen years, I never understood what Julia's attraction to Winston was or why the couple didn't band together to escape or to take down Big Brother.
I could appreciate that Winston and Julia were doing what they had to survive, that staying alive another day, even under tyranny, had become paramount to all other concerns.
As an adult, I can now appreciate how fear and hatred warp democracy and how people who feel they have nothing left to lose surrender their once cherished freedoms and throw their lot in with a Big Brother who promises to take care of them.
And did I mention the writing? What could you see to attract you in a man like me? A thing that astonished him about her was the coarseness of her language.
Party members were supposed not to swear, and Winston himself very seldom did swear, aloud, at any rate. Julia, however, seemed unable to mention the Party, and especially the Inner Party, without using the kind of words that you saw chalked up in dripping alley-ways.
He did not dislike it. It was merely one symptom of her revolt against the Party and all its ways, and somehow it seemed natural and healthy, like the sneeze of a horse that smells bad hay.
The devil is in the details. What stands out to me in is precision with which Orwell depicts the joys of humanity thriving under inhumane rule as well as the terror of being exposed.
Thinking men like Winston know that they'll be arrested, tortured and possibly vaporized for allowing themselves the indulgences that they do, but no amount of reason can prepare them for that moment of betrayal, arrest and interrogation.
The third act of is terrifying. The Party's true methodology--to convert political prisoners to embrace Big Brother before disposing of them--is chilling, something whose force I wasn't prepared to appreciate in high school.

But high school is over, alright? You have a spouse or something, kids, a pet, a car. You have your own place. You make your own decisions.
No one is going to come force you to read, okay? No one is expecting you to read this book and write a word essay about the symbolism or whatever.
Especially now. Yeah, Orwell is right about a lot of this stuff. Here we are in and a book called written in is still important.
Just take some time to read it. Not tomorrow. Not even soon, I guess. Just sometime before you die. Maybe sometime in the next few months. Just fit it into your busy schedule and your stack of books.
You know you should read it. You know people love it. What are you waiting for? Get out and go get it. Sit down and read it. Talk to you guys later.

He didn't leave the house for When I was a high school freshman, I picked up off the shelf at the school library. He didn't leave the house for a week.
Turned out, that kid was a huge reader. Gave me lots of great book recommendations. All freedom is gone, all pleasures are forbidden, all information is propaganda, rebellion is unthinkable, and your relatives will not hesitate to betray you.
Even thinking rebellious thoughts is a crime, bound to get the attention of the Thought Police and a harsh punishment.
And the masses live in constant fear. For they know that Big Brother is watching them Just like The Lord of the Rings is the mother of all fantasy stories, is the mother of all dystopian stories.
Neither of these books were the first in their respective genres, far from it, but both of them changed their genres into something more, and in many ways became the greatest works ever written.
This is as far as I can see an important book more than a good one. George Orwell is a much greater thinker than he is a writer.
But the ideas behind it are greater than any book. And while his is the way of the journalist, the political commentator and the social critic, his books are still enjoyable to read for what they are.
As the man himself once stated, "So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.
The interesting thing is that Orwell himself was a left-wing thinker. You might accuse him of hypocrisy, but that would miss the point entirely.
Here and now, suffice it to say that Orwell and I agree on a great many things. So much for the political analysis.
For further reading I'd recommend having a look at Isaac Asimov's very critical review , which I found almost as interesting and important as the book itself.
It shows us everything that is wrong with our world, everything that has been wrong with it, and most importantly, everything that could go wrong in the future.
In addition to presenting the reader with a possible future that to most of us would seem like our worst nightmare, it has a philosophical core bound to enlighten just about anyone on a thing or two.
Orwell teaches you the true meaning of power and fear, and of the most stable pillars of human society. This is one of the most important books of our time.
It inspired every single dystopian writer after it. It inspired V for Vendetta , one of my favourite movies. It inspired generations of political thinkers.
The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth. The public are blind to the change; in mid-sentence, an orator changes the name of the enemy from "Eurasia" to "Eastasia" without pause.
When the public are enraged at noticing that the wrong flags and posters are displayed, they tear them down; the Party later claims to have captured the whole of Africa.
Goldstein's book explains that the purpose of the unwinnable, perpetual war is to consume human labour and commodities so that the economy of a superstate cannot support economic equality, with a high standard of life for every citizen.
By using up most of the produced goods, the proles are kept poor and uneducated and the Party hopes that they will neither realise what the government is doing nor rebel.
Goldstein also details an Oceanian strategy of attacking enemy cities with atomic rockets before invasion but dismisses it as unfeasible and contrary to the war's purpose; despite the atomic bombing of cities in the s, the superstates stopped it for fear that would imbalance the powers.
The military technology in the novel differs little from that of World War II, but strategic bomber aeroplanes are replaced with rocket bombs , helicopters were heavily used as weapons of war they did not figure in World War II in any form but prototypes and surface combat units have been all but replaced by immense and unsinkable Floating Fortresses island-like contraptions concentrating the firepower of a whole naval task force in a single, semi-mobile platform; in the novel, one is said to have been anchored between Iceland and the Faroe Islands , suggesting a preference for sea lane interdiction and denial.
According to Goldstein's book, almost the entire world lives in poverty; hunger, thirst, disease, and filth are the norms. Ruined cities and towns are common: the consequence of wars and false flag operations.
Social decay and wrecked buildings surround Winston; aside from the ministries' pyramids, little of London was rebuilt. Middle class citizens and Proles consume synthetic foodstuffs and poor-quality "luxuries" such as oily gin and loosely-packed cigarettes, distributed under the "Victory" brand.
They were smoked because it was easier to import them from India than it was to import American cigarettes from across the Atlantic because of the Battle of the Atlantic.
Winston describes something as simple as the repair of a broken window as requiring committee approval that can take several years and so most of those living in one of the blocks usually do the repairs themselves Winston himself is called in by Mrs.
Parsons to repair her blocked sink. All upper-class and middle-class residences include telescreens that serve both as outlets for propaganda and surveillance devices that allow the Thought Police to monitor them; they can be turned down, but the ones in middle-class residences cannot be turned off.
In contrast to their subordinates, the upper class of Oceanian society reside in clean and comfortable flats in their own quarters, with pantries well-stocked with foodstuffs such as wine, real coffee, real tea, real milk, and real sugar, all denied to the general populace.
All upper class citizens are attended to by slaves captured in the "disputed zone", and "The Book" suggests that many have their own cars or even helicopters.
The proles live in poverty and are kept sedated with alcohol, pornography, and a national lottery whose winnings are rarely paid out; that is obscured by propaganda and the lack of communication within Oceania.
At the same time, the proles are freer and less intimidated than the upper classes: they are not expected to be particularly patriotic and the levels of surveillance they are subjected to are very low.
They lack telescreens in their own homes and often jeer at the telescreens that they see. Winston nonetheless believes that "the future belonged to the proles".
The standard of living of the populace is extremely low overall. Nineteen Eighty-Four expands upon the subjects summarised in Orwell's essay " Notes on Nationalism " [34] about the lack of vocabulary needed to explain the unrecognised phenomena behind certain political forces.
In Nineteen Eighty-Four , the Party's artificial, minimalist language 'Newspeak' addresses the matter.
O'Brien concludes: "The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life.
All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler.
Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever. One of the most notable themes in Nineteen Eighty-Four is censorship, especially in the Ministry of Truth, where photographs and public archives are manipulated to rid them of "unpersons" people who have been erased from history by the Party.
One small example of the endless censorship is Winston being charged with the task of eliminating a reference to an unperson in a newspaper article.
He also proceeds to write an article about Comrade Ogilvy, a made-up party member who allegedly "displayed great heroism by leaping into the sea from a helicopter so that the dispatches he was carrying would not fall into enemy hands.
In Oceania, the upper and middle classes have very little true privacy. All of their houses and apartments are equipped with telescreens so that they may be watched or listened to at any time.
Similar telescreens are found at workstations and in public places, along with hidden microphones. Thus, citizens are compelled to obedience.
The Principles of Newspeak is an academic essay appended to the novel. It describes the development of Newspeak, an artificial, minimalistic language designed to ideologically align thought with the principles of Ingsoc by stripping down the English language in order to make the expression of "heretical" thoughts i.
The idea that a language's structure can be used to influence thought is known as linguistic relativity. Whether or not the Newspeak appendix implies a hopeful end to Nineteen Eighty-Four remains a critical debate.
Many claim that it does, citing the fact that it is in standard English and is written in the past tense : "Relative to our own, the Newspeak vocabulary was tiny, and new ways of reducing it were constantly being devised" p.
Some critics Atwood, [44] Benstead, [45] Milner, [46] Pynchon [47] claim that for Orwell, Newspeak and the totalitarian governments are all in the past.
Nineteen Eighty-Four uses themes from life in the Soviet Union and wartime life in Great Britain as sources for many of its motifs. Some time at an unspecified date after the first American publication of the book, producer Sidney Sheldon wrote to Orwell interested in adapting the novel to the Broadway stage.
Orwell sold the American stage rights to Sheldon, explaining that his basic goal with Nineteen Eighty-Four was imagining the consequences of Stalinist government ruling British society:.
According to Orwell biographer D. It's about somebody who is spied upon, and eavesdropped upon, and oppressed by vast exterior forces they can do nothing about.
It makes an attempt at rebellion and then has to compromise". The slogan was seen in electric lights on Moscow house-fronts, billboards and elsewhere.
The switch of Oceania's allegiance from Eastasia to Eurasia and the subsequent rewriting of history "Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
A large part of the political literature of five years was now completely obsolete"; ch 9 is evocative of the Soviet Union's changing relations with Nazi Germany.
The two nations were open and frequently vehement critics of each other until the signing of the Treaty of Non-Aggression. Thereafter, and continuing until the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in , no criticism of Germany was allowed in the Soviet press, and all references to prior party lines stopped—including in the majority of non-Russian communist parties who tended to follow the Russian line.
It was too much for many of the fellow-travellers like Gollancz [Orwell's sometime publisher] who had put their faith in a strategy of construction Popular Front governments and the peace bloc between Russia, Britain and France.
The description of Emmanuel Goldstein, with a "small, goatee beard", evokes the image of Leon Trotsky. The film of Goldstein during the Two Minutes Hate is described as showing him being transformed into a bleating sheep.
This image was used in a propaganda film during the Kino-eye period of Soviet film, which showed Trotsky transforming into a goat.
The omnipresent images of Big Brother, a man described as having a moustache, bears resemblance to the cult of personality built up around Joseph Stalin.
The news in Oceania emphasised production figures, just as it did in the Soviet Union, where record-setting in factories by " Heroes of Socialist Labour " was especially glorified.
The best known of these was Alexey Stakhanov , who purportedly set a record for coal mining in The tortures of the Ministry of Love evoke the procedures used by the NKVD in their interrogations, [53] including the use of rubber truncheons, being forbidden to put your hands in your pockets, remaining in brightly lit rooms for days, torture through the use of their greatest fear, and the victim being shown a mirror after their physical collapse.
The random bombing of Airstrip One is based on the Buzz bombs and the V-2 rocket , which struck England at random in — The confessions of the "Thought Criminals" Rutherford, Aaronson and Jones are based on the show trials of the s, which included fabricated confessions by prominent Bolsheviks Nikolai Bukharin , Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev to the effect that they were being paid by the Nazi government to undermine the Soviet regime under Leon Trotsky 's direction.
The song " Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree " "Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you, and you sold me" was based on an old English song called "Go no more a-rushing" "Under the spreading chestnut tree, Where I knelt upon my knee, We were as happy as could be, 'Neath the spreading chestnut tree.
The song was published as early as The song was a popular camp song in the s, sung with corresponding movements like touching one's chest when singing "chest", and touching one's head when singing "nut".
Glenn Miller recorded the song in The "Hates" Two Minutes Hate and Hate Week were inspired by the constant rallies sponsored by party organs throughout the Stalinist period.
These were often short pep-talks given to workers before their shifts began Two Minutes Hate , but could also last for days, as in the annual celebrations of the anniversary of the October revolution Hate Week.
Orwell fictionalised "newspeak", "doublethink", and "Ministry of Truth" as evinced by both the Soviet press and that of Nazi Germany. Winston Smith's job, "revising history" and the "unperson" motif are based on the Stalinist habit of airbrushing images of "fallen" people from group photographs and removing references to them in books and newspapers.
When he fell in , and was subsequently executed, institutes that had the encyclopaedia were sent an article about the Bering Strait, with instructions to paste it over the article about Beria.
Big Brother's "Orders of the Day" were inspired by Stalin's regular wartime orders, called by the same name.
A small collection of the more political of these have been published together with his wartime speeches in English as "On the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union" By Joseph Stalin.
The Ingsoc slogan "Our new, happy life", repeated from telescreens, evokes Stalin's statement, which became a CPSU slogan, "Life has become better, Comrades; life has become more cheerful.
In , Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges published " Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius ", which describes the invention by a "benevolent secret society" of a world that would seek to remake human language and reality along human-invented lines.
The story concludes with an appendix describing the success of the project. Borges' story addresses similar themes of epistemology , language and history to Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm share themes of the betrayed revolution, the individual's subordination to the collective, rigorously enforced class distinctions Inner Party, Outer Party, Proles , the cult of personality , concentration camps , Thought Police , compulsory regimented daily exercise, and youth leagues.
It is a naval power whose militarism venerates the sailors of the floating fortresses, from which battle is given to recapturing India, the "Jewel in the Crown" of the British Empire.
Altered photographs and newspaper articles create unpersons deleted from the national historical record, including even founding members of the regime Jones, Aaronson and Rutherford in the s purges viz the Soviet Purges of the s, in which leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution were similarly treated.
A similar thing also happened during the French Revolution in which many of the original leaders of the Revolution were later put to death, for example Danton who was put to death by Robespierre , and then later Robespierre himself met the same fate.
In his essay " Why I Write ", Orwell explains that the serious works he wrote since the Spanish Civil War —39 were "written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism ".
Biographer Michael Shelden notes Orwell's Edwardian childhood at Henley-on-Thames as the golden country; being bullied at St Cyprian's School as his empathy with victims; his life in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma and the techniques of violence and censorship in the BBC as capricious authority.
Extrapolating from World War II, the novel's pastiche parallels the politics and rhetoric at war's end—the changed alliances at the " Cold War 's" —91 beginning; the Ministry of Truth derives from the BBC's overseas service, controlled by the Ministry of Information ; Room derives from a conference room at BBC Broadcasting House ; [72] the Senate House of the University of London, containing the Ministry of Information is the architectural inspiration for the Minitrue; the post-war decrepitude derives from the socio-political life of the UK and the US, i.
The term "English Socialism" has precedents in his wartime writings; in the essay " The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius " , he said that "the war and the revolution are inseparable Given the middle class's grasping this, they too would abide socialist revolution and that only reactionary Britons would oppose it, thus limiting the force revolutionaries would need to take power.
An English Socialism would come about which "will never lose touch with the tradition of compromise and the belief in a law that is above the State.
It will shoot traitors, but it will give them a solemn trial beforehand and occasionally it will acquit them.
It will crush any open revolt promptly and cruelly, but it will interfere very little with the spoken and written word.
Comparison of the wartime essay "The Lion and the Unicorn" with Nineteen Eighty-Four shows that he perceived a Big Brother regime as a perversion of his cherished socialist ideals and English Socialism.
Thus Oceania is a corruption of the British Empire he believed would evolve "into a federation of Socialist states, like a looser and freer version of the Union of Soviet Republics".
When it was first published, Nineteen Eighty-Four received critical acclaim. Pritchett , reviewing the novel for the New Statesman stated: "I do not think I have ever read a novel more frightening and depressing; and yet, such are the originality, the suspense, the speed of writing and withering indignation that it is impossible to put the book down.
Forster and Harold Nicolson. Lewis was also critical of the novel, claiming that the relationship of Julia and Winston, and especially the Party's view on sex, lacked credibility, and that the setting was "odious rather than tragic".
Nineteen Eighty-Four has been adapted for the cinema, radio, television and theatre at least twice each, as well as for other art media, such as ballet and opera.
The first Simplified Chinese version was published in It was first available to the general public in China in , as previously it was only in portions of libraries and bookstores open to a limited number of people.
Amy Hawkins and Jeffrey Wasserstrom of The Atlantic stated in that the book is widely available in Mainland China for several reasons: the general public by and large no longer reads books, because the elites who do read books feel connected to the ruling party anyway, and because the Communist Party sees being too aggressive in blocking cultural products as a liability.
By , Nineteen Eighty-Four had been translated into 65 languages, more than any other novel in English at that time. The effect of Nineteen Eighty-Four on the English language is extensive; the concepts of Big Brother , Room , the Thought Police , thoughtcrime , unperson , memory hole oblivion , doublethink simultaneously holding and believing contradictory beliefs and Newspeak ideological language have become common phrases for denoting totalitarian authority.
Doublespeak and groupthink are both deliberate elaborations of doublethink , and the adjective "Orwellian" means similar to Orwell's writings, especially Nineteen Eighty-Four.
The practice of ending words with "-speak" such as mediaspeak is drawn from the novel. References to the themes, concepts and plot of Nineteen Eighty-Four have appeared frequently in other works, especially in popular music and video entertainment.
An example is the worldwide hit reality television show Big Brother , in which a group of people live together in a large house, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras.
The book touches on the invasion of privacy and ubiquitous surveillance. From mid it was publicised that the NSA has been secretly monitoring and storing global internet traffic, including the bulk data collection of email and phone call data.
Sales of Nineteen Eighty-Four increased by up to seven times within the first week of the mass surveillance leaks.
The book also shows mass media as a catalyst for the intensification of destructive emotions and violence. Since the 20th century, news and other forms of media have been publicising violence more often.
The play opened on Broadway in New York in A version of the production played on an Australian tour in In October , after reading Nineteen Eighty-Four , Huxley sent a letter to Orwell and wrote that it would be more efficient for rulers to stay in power by the softer touch by allowing citizens to self-seek pleasure to control them rather than brute force and to allow a false sense of freedom.
He wrote 'Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World'.
Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.
In the decades since the publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four , there have been numerous comparisons to Aldous Huxley 's novel Brave New World , which had been published 17 years earlier, in However, members of the ruling class of Nineteen Eighty-Four use brutal force, torture and mind control to keep individuals in line, while rulers in Brave New World keep the citizens in line by addictive drugs and pleasurable distractions.
Regarding censorship, in Nineteen Eighty-Four the government tightly controls information to keep the population in line, but in Huxley's world, so much information is published that readers do not know which information is relevant, and what can be disregarded.
Elements of both novels can be seen in modern-day societies, with Huxley's vision being more dominant in the West and Orwell's vision more prevalent with dictators in ex-communist countries, as is pointed out in essays that compare the two novels, including Huxley's own Brave New World Revisited.
