The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother - 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute. In this novel, continuously popular since its first publication, readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life.The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: Winston Smith and Julia, whose falling in love is also an act of rebellion against the Party. Opposing them are the massed powers of the state, which watches its citizens on all sides through technology now only too familiar to us. No-one is free from surveillance; the past is constantly altered, so that there is no truth except the most recent version; and Big Brother, both loved and feared, controls all. Even the simple act of keeping a diary - as Winston does - is punishable by death. In Winston s battle to keep his freedom of thought, he has a powerful adversary in O Brien, who uses fear and pain to enter his very thought processes. Does 2+2 = 4? Or is it 5?

Nové vydání s ilustracemi Jaroslava Róny. Když George Orwell vydal v roce 1949 dystopický román Devatenáct set osmdesát čtyři, získala nejen anglická, ale i světová literatura dílo nadané neobyčejnou intelektuální vizí. Britská společnost žije v roce 1984 pod neprůstřelnou nadvládou všemocné Strany, hlavní hrdina Winston Smith se potácí ve všeobecné mizérii a zmůže se na jedinou formu odporu: vede si tajný podvratný deník. Naděje na změnu se mu naskytne, když se seznámí s mladou, vzpurnou Julií - nejprve oba pouze sní o boji proti systému, ale nakonec seberou odvahu a připojí se ke stínovému hnutí odporu. George Orwell přesně a pronikavě popisuje manipulaci, špiclování, tělesné mučení i psychický teror, které jsou všem totalitním režimům z podstaty vlastní. V osobní rovině se však dotýká také niternějších témat, jako je láska, důvěra a zrada, a v abstraktní rovině si klade filozofické otázky o povaze a poznání světa.

Audiokniha: Byl jasný, studený dubnový den a hodiny odbíjely třináctou. Winston Smith, s bradou přitisknutou k hrudi, aby unikl protivnému větru, rychle proklouzl skleněnými dveřmi věžáku na Sídlišti vítězství. Ne však dost rychle, aby zabránil zvířenému písku a prachu vniknout dovnitř... Těmito větami začíná slavný antiutopický román anglického spisovatele George Orwella – jeden z pilířů literatury 20. století. Autor na rozdíl od mnoha jiných ve své době nepodlehl euforii poválečného optimismu vyhlídek na věčný mír. Toto dílo je sugestivním obrazem politické perverze, kterou končí v dějinách každé revoluční hnutí. Winston Smith je obyčejný, ne příliš statečný člověk, který si přeje poznat skutečnou, nezmanipulovanou podobu minulosti. Je opravdu jediný kdo neztratil paměť? Nebo je jen polámané kolečko v soukolí, které je třeba napravit? Román 1984 popisuje svět, v němž si veškerou moc uzurpuje STRANA. Absolutní totalitu živí permanentní válka mezi třemi kontinentálními mocnostmi. Cokoli proti kolektivnímu myšlení STRANY je krutě trestáno. Lidská individualita se stává zločinem.

Román 1984 George Orwella (1903-1950) předkládá obraz totalitní společnosti, v níž je jedinec jen dočasnou položku na seznamu, který lze kdykoliv změnit, přepsat či úplně vymazat. Na jedinci nezáleží, důležitá je MOC. Moc odosobnělá, respektive zosobněná imaginárním Velkým bratrem. Kniha bývá charakterizována jako dílo odhalující princip fungování totalitních režimů, čímž se donedávna mínily především režimy fašistické a komunistické. Jako varovný popis možného vývoje západních společností byl zmiňován spíše román Aldouse Huxleyho Konec civilizace. Bohužel, jak naznačuje současný vývoj, Orwellova a Huxleyho vize se podivně proplétají. I dnes si nikdo nemůže být jist, kým, proč a jak bude odposloucháván, analyzován, zneužit, zmanipulován, převychováván či - prozatím jen společensky - vypařen . Není náhodou, že Orwellovu knihu, napsanou v roce 1948, zařadil časopis Time mezi sto nejvlivnějších knih vydaných od roku 1923. Kniha vychází v novém překladu Luboše Snížka, s již klasickým doslovem - rozsáhlou esejí Milana Šimečky Náš soudruh Winston Smith.

Audiokniha: „Svoboda je svoboda říkat, že dvě a dvě jsou čtyři. Pokud je toto zaručeno, všechno ostatní už vyplyne samo.“ Ve zbídačelém Londýně na území superstátu Oceánie se v dubnu 1984 úředník Ministerstva pravdy Winston Smith přiměje vzepřít. Už se mu zajídají pěstěná stádnost i technika normopsychu, využívané coby hráz proti občanskému vzdoru. Pochyby začne potají svěřovat deníku i přesto, že každý pohyb v téhle chmurné zemi monitorují telestěny Velkého bratra. Krutovláda jedné Strany navíc s Winstonovým přispěním z dějin cíleně vymazává veškeré vzpomínky na dobu před Revolucí, neboť hodlá pomocí znetvořeného jazyka zvaného neolekt obyvatelstvo opanovat na těle, v duchu i v srdci – ryzí, nezměrnou, totalitní mocí. Zbývá aspoň jiskřička naděje na svobodu? Nicméně i Winstonova láska k Julii a krimistyk s ní představují protestní akt, takže za oběma asi brzy spadne klec. A pak…? Pak už jen drtivé vyústění znamenitě propracované antiutopie o nelidském režimu, která téměř tři čtvrtě století vévodí svému literárnímu žánru. Vizionářský román v roce 1984 zfilmoval režisér Michael Radford s Johnem Hurtem v hlavní roli a s hudbou od skupiny Eurythmics. Snímek byl vyhlášen nejlepším britským filmem sezony.

Audiokniha: Dnes již klasické dílo distopického žánru je působivým obrazem společnosti, kde není místo pro lásku, vlastní názor ani pro víru ve vlastní smysly. 1984, dnes již klasické dílo antiutopického žánru, je bezesporu jedním z nejpozoruhodnějších románů 20. století a brilantní analýzou totalitních systémů. Britská společnost žije v roce 1984 pod nadvládou všemocné Strany. Hlavní hrdina Winston Smith, zaměstnanec Ministerstva pravdy, roboticky přežívá pod stálým dohledem Velkého bratra. Nepřetržité války a nedostatek základních potravin ještě přispívají k všeobecné duševní prázdnotě a mizérii. Winston Smith se zmůže na jedinou formu odporu: vede si tajný deník. Naděje na změnu se mu naskytne, když se seznámí s mladou, vzpurnou Julií – nejprve oba pouze sní o boji proti systému, ale nakonec seberou odvahu a připojí se ke stínovému hnutí odporu. Záhy se oba propadají ještě hlouběji do soukolí manipulace, špiclování, tělesného mučení i psychického teroru, které jsou všem totalitním režimům z podstaty vlastní. Audiokniha se v osobní rovině dotýká niterných témat, jako je láska, důvěra a zrada, zatímco v té abstraktní si klade filozofické otázky o povaze a poznání světa. V působivém podání Vasila Fridricha líčí vizi společnosti, kde není místo pro lásku, vlastní názor, dokonce ani víru ve vlastní smysly a varuje tak před jakoukoli diktaturou moci.

1984, dnes již klasické dílo antiutopického žánru, je bezesporu jedním z nejpozoruhodnějších románů 20. století a brilantní analýzou všech totalitních systémů. „Anti-utopie“ má i svého „antihrdinu“: je jím Winston Smith, obyčejný, ne příliš statečný člověk, který si nepřeje nic světoborného: chce jen poznat skutečnou, ne zmanipulovanou podobu minulosti, věřit tomu, co vidí na vlastní oči a mít svobodu tvrdit, že dva a dva jsou čtyři... Životní úroveň v Oceánii je bídná a zhoršuje se. Winston pracuje na Ministerstvu pravdy, jež se zabývá manipulováním minulosti, upravování dokumentů tak, aby byly stále platné. Winstonovou prací je upravovat stará čísla novin. Oceánie vede střídavě válku se zeměmi Eurasie a Eastasie. Pokud se změní situace, ze spojence se stal nepřítel a z nepřítele spojenec, Winston a další úředníci přepisují všechny články, které v minulosti vyšly. Velký bratr totiž nikdy nemění svá rozhodnutí, má absolutní pravdu. Podobně se přepisují předpovědi průmyslové výroby, válečného vývoje apod. Ve skutečnosti se nelze spolehnout na pravdivost ani u letopočtu. Winston se nedokáže bránit myšlenkám na minulost. Postupně začíná pátrat, jaký byl život před nastolením diktatury Strany a domnívá se, že nebyl takový, jak jej líčí oficiální propaganda. Přemýšlí o své matce a sestře, které zmizely, když byl malý kluk. Začíná si psát deník. Dobře ale ví, že jej na každém kroku i v soukromí sleduje ideopolicie pomocí všudypřítomné techniky. Stejně jako všechny ostatní členy Strany. Myšlenky proti Straně jsou ideozločin, který se tvrdě trestá. A člověka může prozradit i pouhý výraz tváře či mluvení ze spaní.

This is the first book to focus primarily on George Orwellâ ™s ideas about free speech and related matters â “ freedom of the press, the writerâ ™s freedom of expression, honesty and truthfulness â “ and, in particular, the ways in which they are linked to his political vision of socialism. Orwell is today claimed by the Left and Right, by neo-conservatives and neo-socialists. How is that possible? Part of the answer, as Glenn Burgess reveals, is that Orwell was an odd sort of socialist. The development of Orwellâ ™s socialism was, from the start, conditioned by his individualist and liberal commitments. The hopes he attached to socialism were for a fairer, more equal world that would permit human freedom and individuality to flourish, completing, not destroying, the work of liberalism. Freedom of thought was a central part of this, and its defence and use were essential parts of the struggle to ensure that socialism developed in a liberal, humane form that did not follow the totalitarian path of Soviet communism. Written in celebration of Orwellâ ™s dictum, We hold that the most perverse human being is more interesting than the most orthodox gramophone record, George Orwell s Perverse Humanity is a portrait of Orwell that captures these themes and provides a new understanding of him as a political thinker and activist. Based on archival research and new materials that affirm his work as an activist for freedom, it also uncovers a socialist ideology that has been obscured in just the way that the author feared it would be â “ associated in many peopleâ ™s minds with totalitarian unfreedom.

The perfect edition for any Orwell enthusiasts collection, discover Orwell s personal account of life on the streets beautifully reimagined by renowned street artist Shepard FaireyTo be poor and destitute in 1920s Paris and London was to experience life at its lowest ebb. George Orwell, penniless and with nowhere to go, found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. By day, he tramped the streets, often passing time with screevers or street artists, drunks and other hobos. At night, he stood in line for a bed in a spike or doss house, where a cup of sugary tea, a hunk of stale bread and a blanket were the only sustenance and comfort on offer.First published in 1933, Down and Out in Paris and London is George Orwell s haunting account of the streets and those who have no choice but to live on them.

He discusses the effect of the ownership of the press on the accuracy of reports of events, and takes aim at political language, which consists almost entirely of prefabricated phrases bolted together. The Prevention of Literature is a stirring cry for freedom from censorship, which Orwell says must start with the writer themselves: To write in plain vigorous language one has to think fearlessly.
