Book of the Month: May 2009 - 1984 Florence
the turn of this novel, quite good. I loved her long ago read and never found in bookstores so I looked recently digital formats and it was not difficult. I did not want it to end.
read is also crucial to understand the origin of the term "Big Brother" or "Big Brother", as it is in this novel that first mentioned.
There is also another very good novel by the same author called Animal Farm.
Here is my review:
A perfect society based on thought control. Each individual supervised at all times. This novel is a critique of totalitarian systems, approached from the standpoint of an ordinary citizen. Winston's story is told by an omniscient narrator, which is little away from the protagonist's life.
government control is almost everywhere, and though the poor areas are completely free, there is no reason to fear them as no threat. The real threat is in the minds of thinking citizens. That is the most dangerous and difficult to control by the government.
semantics plays a major role in building society by Newspeak. The language sets forth the scope and limitations of cultural construction that is formed through communication and interaction. Social ties are the foundation of the structure, and these allow the maintenance of the model functionalist perspective.
But no society is perfect. Especially with the likes of Winston who realize that things are not like the government says, and start to consider the idea of \u200b\u200ba different society, maybe better.
currently found in many bookstores. For the online version, there is the link:
