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…
G.奧威爾的最后一部小說《1984》是一部政治寓言,與英國另一位作家胥黎的《美麗新世界》、蘇聯(lián)作家米亞京的《我們》并稱“反烏托邦三部曲。”作者虛構(gòu)了一個(gè)受極權(quán)主義統(tǒng)治的大洋國,全體民眾處于國家的完全監(jiān)視之下,屈從和無意識成了一種全體國民的心態(tài),而自由和思想則早已絕跡;這個(gè)政權(quán)的真理部甚至篡改歷史……前北京大學(xué)教授燕卜蓀先生曾說,此書“像烙鐵一樣在想象力上留下永遠(yuǎn)的疤痕”,米蘭·昆德拉則比之卡夫卡的《審判》。
《1984動(dòng)物莊園》是一部更有趣的反烏托邦政治寓言,農(nóng)場中的動(dòng)物進(jìn)行一場革命,將壓榨他們的人類驅(qū)逐出去,建立了一個(gè)平等的社會,讓還算有些頭腦的豬做領(lǐng)袖……
奧威爾,ERIC ARTHUR BLAIR(1903-1950),better known by his penname George Orwell,was anEnglish novelist and journalist.His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit,a passion for clarity in language and a beliefindemocratic socialism.Contemporary readers are more often introduced to Orwell as a novelist,particularly through his enormously successful titles Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.The former is considered an allegory of the corruption of the socialist ideals of the Russian Revolution by Stalinism,and the latter is Orwell's prophetic vision of the results of totalitarianism.Orwell denied that ArumaI Farm was a reference to Stalinism.

FROM SOMEWHERE at the bottom of a passage thesmell of roasting coffee-real coffee,not Victory Coffee-came floating out into the street.Winstonpaused involuntarily.For perhaps two seconds he was back in the half-forgotten world of his childhood.Then a doorbanged,seeming to cut off the smell as abruptly as though it had been a sound.
He had walked several kilometres over pavements,and his varicose ulcer was throbbing.This was the second time in three weeks that he had missed an evening at the Community Centre,a rash act,since you could be certain that the number of your attendances at the Centre wascarefully checked.In prinaple a Party member had no spare time,and was never alone except in bed.It was assumedthat when he was not working,eahng,or sleeping he would be taking part in some kind of communal recreation;to doanything that suggested a taste for solitude,even to go for a walk by yourself,was always slightly dangerous.There was a word for it in Newspeak:OWNLIFE,it was called,meaning individualism and eccentriaty.But this evening as he came out of the Ministry the balminess of the April air had tempted him.The sky was a warmer blue than he had seen it that year,and suddenly the long,noisy evening at the Centre,the boring,exhausting games,the lectures,the creaking camaraderie oiled by gin,had seemed in to lerable,On impulse he had turned away from the bus stop and wandered off into the labyrinth of London,first south.
