▾Recomendações do LibraryThing  ▾Recomendações dos membros  87 7812 Brave New World de Aldous Huxley (nathanm, chrisharpe, MinaKelly, li33ieg, haraldo, Ludi_Ling, Morteana, Waldstein)li33ieg: 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451: 3 essential titles that remind us of the need to keep our individual souls pure. Ludi_Ling: Really, the one cannot be mentioned without the other. Actually, apart from the dystopian subject matter, they are very different stories, but serve as a great counterpoint to one another. Waldstein: It's essential to read Huxley's and Orwell's books together. Both present the ultimate version of the totalitarian state, but there the similarities end. While Orwell argues in favour of hate and fear, Huxley suggests that pleasure and drugs would be far more effective as controlling forces. Who was the more prescient prophet? That's what every reader should decide for him- or herself.… (mais) 726 Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury (readafew, hipdeep, Booksloth, rosylibrarian, moietmoi, haraldo, BookshelfMonstrosity)readafew: Both books are about keeping the people in control and ignorant. hipdeep: 1984 is scary like a horror movie. Fahrenheit 451 is scary like the news. So - do you want to see something really scary? BookshelfMonstrosity: A man's romance-inspired defiance of menacing, repressive governments in bleak futures are the themes of these compelling novels. Control of language and monitors that both broadcast to and spy on people are key motifs. Both are dramatic, haunting, and thought-provoking.… (mais) 391 The Handmaid's Tale de Margaret Atwood (citygirl, cflorente, wosret, norabelle414, readingwolverine)372 LARANJA MECÂNICA de Anthony Burgess (wosret, Usuário anônimo)282 We de Yevgeny Zamyatin (hippietrail, BGP, soylentgreen23, roby72, timoroso, MEStaton, Usuário anônimo, Sylak, humashaikh)hippietrail: The original dystopian novel from which both Huxley and Orwell drew inspiration. timoroso: Zamyatin's "We" was not just a precursor of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" but the work Orwell took as a model for his own book. Sylak: A great influence in the writing of his own book. 3913 O Senhor das Moscas de William Golding (vegetarianflautist, avid_reader25)224 One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest de Ken Kesey (readerbabe1984)192 V for Vendetta de Alan Moore (aethercowboy)aethercowboy: The world of V for Vendetta is very reminiscent of the world of 1984. 216 The Giver de Lois Lowry (cflorente, readerbabe1984)111 Brave New World & Brave New World Revisited de Aldous Huxley (thebookpile)90 Darkness at Noon de Arthur Koestler (BGP, ivan.frade)ivan.frade: Both books talk about revolution and the people, individual rights vs. common wellness. "darkness at noon" is pretty similar to 1984, without the especulation/science-fiction ingredient. 91 Brave New World Revisited de Aldous Huxley (pyrocow)91 Kallocain de Karin Boye (andejons, Usuário anônimo)andejons: The totalitarian state works very similar in both books, but the control in Kallocain seems more plausible, which makes it more frightening. 102 Little Brother de Cory Doctorow (infiniteletters, suzanney, JFDR)JFDR: 1984's Big Brother is Little Brother's namesake. 40 Swastika Night de Katharine Burdekin (Usuário anônimo)Usuário anônimo: Huxley and Zamyatin are practically the canon recommendations for this work, so much so that they hardly need to be mentioned, let alone mentioned again.. Therefore, let me instead recommend a lesser-known work that likewise influenced Orwell's work: Burdekin's dystopian future-history, Swastika Night… (mais) 40 The Machine Stops de E. M. Forster (artturnerjr)artturnerjr: If you read only one other dystopian SF story, make it this one. 40 Heart of a Dog de Mikhail Bulgakov (BGP)40 The Archivist's Story de Travis Holland (catherinestead)catherinestead: Two very powerful stories of what happens when a very small cog in the machine of a dictatorship decides not to turn anymore. 74 Panopticon; or, The inspection-house de Jeremy Bentham (bertilak)

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.  | |

| Citações |
Informação do Conhecimento Comum em inglês. Edite para a localizar na sua língua. "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU." "WAR IS PEACE. SLAVERY IS FREEDOM. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." Freedom is the freedom to know that two plus two make four. Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two plus two might make five, but when one was designing a fun or an airplane they had to make four. Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is death. The best books... are those that tell you what you know already. We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness. If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself. Power is in inflicting pain and humiliations. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.... We are creating a world of fear and treachery and torment ... a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless.... In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement.... 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. She had become a physical necessity, something that he not only wanted but felt that he had a right to. The whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought ... every year fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. ... What was required was short clipped words of unmistakable meaning which ... roused the minimum of echoes in the speaker's mind. ... The smaller the area of choice, the smaller the temptation to take thought. Winston fitted a nib into the penholder and sucked it to get the grease off.
The pen was an archaic instrument, seldom used even for signatures, and he had procured one, furtively and with some difficulty, simply because of a feeling that the beautiful creamy paper deserved to be written on with a real nib instead of being scratched with an ink-pencil. Actually he was not used to writing by hand. Apart from very short notes, it was usual to dictate everything into the speak-write, which was of course impossible for his present purpose. Such things he saw could not happen today. Today there were fear, hatred, and pain, but no dignity of emotion or deep and complex sorrows. And if all the others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records contained the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. Winston, in addition to his regular work, spent long periods every day in going through back files of the Times and altering and embellishing news items which were to be quoted in speeches. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. In so far as he had time to remember it, he was not troubled by the fact that every word he murmured into the speakwrite, every stroke of his ink pencil, was a deliberate lie. War prisoners apart, the average citizen of Oceania never sets eyes on a citizen of either Eurasia or Eastasia, and he is forbidden the knowledge of foreign languages. If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them are lies. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. "How does one man assert power over another, Winston?"
Winston thought. "By making him suffer," he said. Countless other words such as honor, justice, morality, internationalism, democracy, science, and religion had simply ceased to exist. ...a Party member called upon to make a political or ethical judgment should be able to spray forth the correct opinions as automatically as a machine gun spraying forth bullets. | |

| Descrição do livro |
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...
Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...
A startling and haunting vision of the world, 1984 is so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the influence of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time. | |
