The Classic

George Orwell's 1984

I know most of you would have read this classic book but i just re read this one again and thought I would just offer an updated review or my impression

Of course you know george Orwell's 1984. It's a conservative nursery rhyme; man rebels against dictatorship, atishoo ! atishoo ! man falls down. True enough, thr plot of Winston Smith's flouting of ( and eventual extinguishing by ) Big Brother and his minions does form the book's spine. But classics speak to us because they contain many different, often countervailing, stories.

1984 is an indictmrnt on societies from which critical thought has been purged, a misanthropic survey of ibdivuals and crowd dynamics, a hymn to sexual love, and pastoral for the English countryside and the England that Orwell loved and reviled.

Orwells prose is a delight, blossoming with natural metaphors. For example, Smith notes that his beloved's coarse labguage is a natural reaction against the party's puritanism, like " the sneeze of a horse at bad hay ", ... Wonderful stuff ..
