The Orwell Diaries
The Orwell Diaries内容简介
George Orwell was an inveterate keeper of diaries. "The Orwell Diaries" presents eleven of them, covering the period 1931-1949, and follows Orwell from his early years as a writer to his last literary notebook. An entry from 1931 tells of a communal shave in the Trafalgar Square fountains, while notes from his travels through industrial England show the development of the impassioned social commentator. This same acute power of observation is evident in his diaries from Morocco, as well as at home, where his domestic diaries chart the progress of his garden and animals with a keen eye; the wartime diaries, from descriptions of events overseas to the daily violence closer to home, describe astutely his perspective on the politics of both, and provide a new and entirely refreshing insight into Orwell's character and his great works.
热门摘录
我再度深切地意识到，一个工人一旦在工会里谋得了职位，或是进入了工会政治圈，他便立刻跻身中产阶级行列，不管他自己愿不愿意。如此来说，和资产阶级战斗的结果就是自己也就变成了资产阶级。事实上，一个人的生活方式和意识形态不可能不同自己的收入水平相挂钩。
所有动物得到的都是非常糟糕的对待
尤其是那些睡在拥挤的拖车里的女人。有一个女人的脸就像骷髅头一样。她的眼神流露出的是彻头彻尾无法忍受的悲惨与屈辱。我想，她心中的感觉我只有浑身上下涂满大便才能体会到。 我们路过了一条肮脏得令人恐惧的小巷，看见一个女人，很年轻，但极度苍白，一副沾满污泥、精疲力竭的样子。她正跪在一栋房子外的下水道边，拿着一根棍子疏通污水管。在那一刻她突然抬起头，看着我的眼睛；那神情是我一生中见到过的最凄凉的东西。更令我震惊的是，她此刻的所思所想显然和我的一模一样。
