▾Recomendações do LibraryThing  ▾Recomendações dos membros  72 7534 Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury (ateolf)392 Never Let Me Go de Kazuo Ishiguro (readerbabe1984, rosylibrarian, ateolf, browner56)browner56: Two chilling, though extremely well written, reminders that liberty, freedom, and self-determination are not idle concepts. 393 Brave New World & Brave New World Revisited de Aldous Huxley (fannyprice)254 The Road de Cormac McCarthy (mrstreme)160 Oryx and Crake de Margaret Atwood (smiteme)249 The Giver de Lois Lowry (cflorente)161 Brave New World de Aldous Huxley (Schwehnchen, mcenroeucsb)120 Herland de Charlotte Perkins Gilman (krazy4katz)krazy4katz: An upside down recommendation, as this is an "all-women" utopia rather than a dystopia, but a fun read. 219 LARANJA MECÂNICA de Anthony Burgess (wosret)110 The Gate to Women's Country de Sheri S. Tepper (lesvrolyk)110 When She Woke de Hillary Jordan (sparemethecensor)sparemethecensor: The Handmaid's Tale is the classic forerunner to dystopic fiction of sexist futures. When She Woke picks up the mantel with a more modern version of a misogynistic theocracy taking over government. Both show terrifying futures for the state of women in society.… (mais) 111 The Year of the Flood de Margaret Atwood (smiteme)101 We de Yevgeny Zamyatin (themephi)124 The Red Tent de Anita Diamant (wosret, Kaelkivial)Kaelkivial: Both stories of strong women who resist (in one form or another) the system that holds them down. Both books fairly fast paced and gripping; acts of violence and loss scattered throughout. 157 V for Vendetta de Alan Moore (readerbabe1984)92 Alias Grace de Margaret Atwood (k8_not_kate)92 The Unit de Ninni Holmqvist (bookcrushblog)82 The Dispossessed de Ursula K.

And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
And she said, Behold my maid Bihah, go in unto her, and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
— Genesis 30:1–3  But as to myself, having been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success, I fortunately fell upon this proposal . . .
— Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal In the desert there is no sign that says, Thou shalt not eat stones.

Informação do Conhecimento Comum em inglês. Edite para a localizar na sua língua. As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and, try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our own day. Time has not stood still. It has washed over me, washed me away, as if I’m nothing more than a woman of sand, left by a careless child too near the water. The shell of the egg is smooth but also grained; small pebbles of calcium are defined by the sunlight, like craters on the moon. It’s a barren landscape, yet perfect; it’s the sort of desert the saints went into, so their minds would not be distracted by profusions. I think that this is what God must look like: an egg. The life of the moon may not be on the surface, but inside. But remember that forgiveness too is a power. To beg for it is a power, and to withhold or bestow it is a power, perhaps the greatest. Maybe none of this is about control ... Maybe it’s about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing. There is more than one kind of freedom, said Aunt Lydia, freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don’t underrate it. I have a fork and a spoon, but never a knife. When there’s meat they cut it up for me ahead of time, as if I’m lacking manual skills or teeth. I have both, however. That’s why I’m not allowed a knife. To go through all that [childbirth] and give birth to a shredder: it wasn’t a fine thought. We didn’t know exactly what would happen to the babies that didn’t get passed, that were declared Unbabies. But we knew they were put somewhere, quickly, away. Since the paper famine there have been no newspapers ... At the corner is the store know as Soul Scrolls .... Behind the shatter-proof window are print-out machines ... they are known as Holy Rollers. They print prayers, roll upon roll, prayers going out endlessly. ... There are five different prayers ...You pick the one you want, punch in the number, then punch in your own number so your account will be debited, and punch in the number of times you want the prayer repeated. The machines talk as they print out the prayers ... Once the prayers have been printed out and said, the paper rolls back through another slot and is recycled into fresh paper again. Whenever there is butter or even margarine, I save some ... There’s no longer any hand lotion or face cream ... [Our] outside can become hard and wrinkled, like the shell of a nut .... The butter is a trick ... we all do it .... butter our skin to keep it soft. | |
