1984
"Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell’s narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power 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."
-Amazon synopsis
This novel is artistic, classic, and very entertaining.
When George Orwell wrote in 1949 he was pessimistic about the so far of what Seoul has the world after 1984
Yeah, probably not achieved what Orwell completely , but it has garnered in parallel and similar in many authoritarian societies
Let's talk about Syria, for example :
Big Brother : the visionary leader and the young president Bashar al- Assad ..
Internal party members : some of the major components of the system
Party members outside : the Baath Party
General : 19 million and a half million Syrian citizen
Oceania : Syria's Assad
God is power : God of Syria Bashar al- ups
Double think : " the reluctance of the state did not fire a single shot at the enemy , who found his opposition ," for example
Monitoring screens : mobile spyware on the Internet
The new language : Reform , Impedance , progress , national and other
O'Brien : a model of the Syrian informant who gives him soul and confidence to beat you and humiliates
Room 101: Desert prison
Rooms and cellars of the Ministry of Love: security headquarters scattered everywhere
The disk device even exists as the Flying Carpet
And others ..
You meant to drop the novel on any totalitarian society to see a perspective similar to that dark world .
But the result is different ..
There are some sentences that must be kept preserved , not only recorded :
Loyalty means a no-brainer , but is not needed to think about . Loyalty means a lack of awareness
This is what we teach and keep it in the same school term , loyalty to Big Brother .. regardless of his actions and their results and ideas and doing, actually any lack of awareness ..
If there is any hope , it is in the public
Exactly .. just give them some awareness and Sasnon miracles ..
Ie:
In order to rise up must be aware , and to become aware of should Ithorowa
Please .. forget all that novel , then get out of them these three words only ..!
The power is very power
According to power ..
Do not believe everything the immortal speeches and promises of economic , political, military and development ..
Power of authority , not to serve the people or a humanitarian or value, or create or anything else ..
Therefore, the absolute authority is always an absolute evil ..
Book clips Goldstein albeit utopian to some extent , but it is true and the Academy . !
Normal situation must go as he talked about Orwell , though the owner of the shop - forget his name - and what O'Brien had been informants for the successful revolution ..
This is what happened in Egypt and Tunisia , and the rest will happen in totalitarian societies ..
Consciously and public awareness of their revolution , and then again

The Great Gatsby
"This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule. Subsequent printings introduced further departures from the author's words. This edition, based on the Cambridge critical text, restores all the language of Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Drawing on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, this is the authorized text --The Great Gatsby as Fitzgerald intended it."
-Amazon synopsis
It is difficult to give a fair unbiased review of The Great Gatsby novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, because it was required reading for most of us in high school . But if you return to him as a full-fledged adult , you'll find that the story still resonates but more like just a piece of polished cameo from a forgotten time . The heart of the book is complete infatuation Jay Gatsby has for Daisy Fay Buchanan, a love story portrayed with both a dull veil and a fatalistic urgency. But the broader context of the creation and irreconcilable nature of the American dream in 1920 is what gives the novel its true weight.
Much of this is eloquently articulated by Nick Carraway , Gatsby modest Long Island neighbor who becomes his most trusted confidential . Nick is responsible for collecting enthusiasts both came at different times of their lives five years after their aborted romance that . Now a solitary figure in his luxurious mansion , Gatsby is one that has accumulated his wealth by dubious means newly rich man. Daisy, on the other hand , has always led a life of privilege and could not let love stand in the way of his comfortable existence . She married Tom Buchanan for that sole purpose . With the aim of Gatsby driven by his love for Daisy, he rekindles his romance with Daisy, as Tom driver carelessly with a woman car mechanic gripping . Nick himself get caught in the traps of the jet set and has a relationship with Jordan Baker , a young golf pro .
These characters are inevitably led on a collision course that exposes the hypocrisy of the rich, the falsity of an unworthy love and the transience of individuals on this earth. The strength of Fitzgerald's treatment comes from the lyrical prose he provides to illuminate these themes. Not a word is lost, and economic manipulation of the author of such a potentially complex plot is a technique I want more frequently repeated today. Mostly, I just love the book because it does not portend greater importance 80 years. This is a classic tale that gives vitality and texture to a bygone era. It is worth re - reading , especially at a bargain price.

"Cat’s Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut’s satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet’s ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat’s Cradle is one of the twentieth century’s most important works—and Vonnegut at his very best."
-Amazon Synopsis
Cats Cradle is by far the best Vonnegut novel that I have read. Blending his patented wry humor with acute social insight presented in an absurd fantasy world , Vonnegut has written an exceptional novel about love, lies and self-destruction of humanity. The story revolves around the narrator , Jonah, who are called by name once in the entire book . We are told in the beginning, to write a book about the events of the day the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. His research led to a correspondence with Newt Hoenikker , the dwarf son of Doctor Felix Hoenikker , father of the atomic bomb . After meeting with Newt , destiny leads our protagonist to the island republic poor of San Lorenzo, where among other adventures , he finds religion , falls in love and becomes president . Naturally, you would have been a very entertaining book , but it's not in the story line that Vonnegut genius lies. Cats Cradle is filled with painfully precise ideas in our institutions so dear community, such as religion, politics and science. Vonnegut invents for the inhabitants of San Lorenzo a brand new database completely and admittedly on " FOMA " religion, or lies. It would not be so shocking, except for the fact that " bokonism " seems quite logical. Other Vonnegut irony pervades the book and is too complex to go into. Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite author of all time. Cats Cradle is one of his funniest , most absurd and frightening novels. This book really makes a stop and think about things that you definitely applies . All the amazing people, places , things and ideas in Cats Cradle are intricately woven into a perfect tapestry that summarizes and explains the many problems even created mankind in 191 pages .
