I love it it so beautiful ….. My first ❤️❤️?
i’m trying to read some analysis about it, i discovered it through “Twenty-one pilots” (Musical group)
It is one of George orwell’s most celebrated novels …. It is a dystopian novel which depicts totalitarianism in the near future ?? so beautiful I love orwell’s imagination
@Iréne yah, have you read Animal farm !
@Mohamed sure I did ?❤️ i love george Orwell political writings..check ouy Shooting an elephant it is political as well .. He critisises the british colonization in india
@Iréne I read his essay “Why I write” i found it as a key to better understand his works
@Mohamed indeed most of his writings are political… Check out his biography …. And for a better understanding i advice you to take a look at the social and historic background of each book you read
@Iréne i trying to do that, thank you 😀
Very welcome
I couldn’t finish it I found it so boring.
it deals with politics, some people found it boring especially when they hate politics :/ but to be honest, there are some parts deals with many societies today …
It’s a great book, read it slowly and you’ll enjoy it. ?
i’m enjoying it, it’s full of themes that i need to cover them through analyzes ect…
It’s one of the few classics I’ve enjoyed.
i think that it is not really classic, it’s rather modern isn’t it ? it was published 1949 !
I’m pretty sure it’s considered a classic. Maybe a modern classic but I’ve been told it’s a classic
It is an excellent book. It is also frightening how realistic some things are today.
I totally agree!
I spent months thinking about it!
totally agree with you, especially that we’re leaving our life using technology which is, by now, overcontrol our minds, not only in one society, but it’s all over the globe. People are oriented today :/
I agree.
one of my favorite books and i dont read many
try to read animal farm and he’s essays
It’s a cautionary tale, & appropriate for our time.
It is a classic piece. Cautionary and relevant even in today’s scenario. ♡
I read it years ago, I believe it was required reading in high school? We had to do a report about it – am seriously thinking about reading it again now, some 30 years later, to see if I have a different take / reaction / feeling about it.
yes, i’m required to read it for my literature class 😀 good idea, read it again and tell us about what you found 😀
Yes, I will be sure to do that Mohamed 🙂
This link may help you brother https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/1984/
@Sian thank you so much, but it’s forbidden for us to use it, our teacher is trying to train us in how to interpret a book by ourselves using some material out of Sparknotes, he’s always saying that “”Sparknotes” is for children” ;D
I am very sorry, I did not know that. I have read the book and really liked it, do you have any specific questions?
@Sian i’m reading it right now, I’ll finish it this weekend, maybe if u want to discuss about it ?
Hopefully @Lisa 😉
Me might live the real thing here in Brazil, if the fascist is elect.
we were in the same condition in Tunisia before the revolution of 2011 :/
LOVED
Great book ! Keep reading !
I loved it, I also loved Orwell’s Animal Farm. His writing is so amazing
Excellent book, one of those everybody should read.
In today’s environment it should be required reading.
One of my favorite books of all time! I read it recently and I’ll tell you that Orwell was ahead of his time. Scary…
I read it in HS and loved it. I’ve read it 4 or 5 more times.
It is one of my favorite novels
We are living it – right now.
Awesome!
We are living it right now
If you want this book to give you everything it can provide when you read it always remember what year it was written. This book is one of the best books I read.
Brilliant book. Opened my eyes for sure.
After that, read Brave New World. (Huxley)
@Stacy thank you for your suggestion ?
One of the best —
He was ahead of his time….but here it is…2018!!
A great read.
I read it and found the plot predictable
Profound.
Never read it. I read Animal Farm.
@Erin try to read it, it’s awesome
Glad I can say I read it. Shocked at how a lot of it paralleled current times.
That’s how I felt when I read it back in ’05.
I need a copy
I think we are currently on the verge of living it ?
One of the greatest books ever,also read “Brave New World”
Thank you for your suggestion
The government is using it as a how to book
I read it in 1969 & the whole time thinking there was no way it could happen in the United States…..I didn’t have a clue it would become reality.
I have to get it ….
I read it for a Dystopian English course, it was good. Granted it had its slow parts. What I love about college is reading books that we didn’t get to read in highschool.
Can’t remember if I read that or not.I know I read Huxley’s book and I think I read that one .Sometime in ’69 or ’70?
you have to read it again 😉
It’s whats going on in England right now
Oh no , how?
how’s that !
liked it but too long ago to critique it now. I was young and impressionable then…
I have read it more than once – last time earlier this year – and it is one of my favourite dystopian books. The main character spends a lot of time contemplating his life before you see any action, but the book is written in a way that it always sucks me in. Despite that, it is an old book it still has a relevant topic ? Though I may be a bit biased about this book since I was born in 1984 ?
I read it in high school and enjoyed it
Great and thought-provoking
Incredible book
I didn’t read it in HS, I wish I had. But I read it recently and wow it’s almost dead on. Makes you really think.
More applicable now than ever
Read on my own in a row..Brave New Worlds,1984,Fareihight 451,Soul on Ice, Martian Chronicles and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee..a couple i have re read….
Frightening. Sometimes you can see it happening now.
Brilliant, prophetic I could think of so many words to describe this majestic book
It was written in 1948 so he just changed the last two numbers
I haven’t not even in school like a lot of people did. But I see some interest in it at the moment.
I thought it was brilliant.
