my first Orwell, and I'm already hooked
I think this is my favorite novel about a dystopia. So far, I have read "We", "A Handmaid's Tale", "Brave New World", "Anthem", and "A Clockwork Orange", and though I have thoroughly enjoyed quite a few of the novels that I've listed, 1984 is my absolute favorite. How is it different? The main character, Winston, if not entirely likable, is very relatable. What I like most about him is that ...

The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a ...

All the mahasiddhas in one volume!

All the biographies are given here in one volume along with a good introduction to Buddhist tantra. Along with every biography is given a short verse from another ...

Nineteen Eighty-Four in Extra Large Print

Virginia M. Woolf Foundation, 2008

A classic that gives frightening insights into the contemporary world. Big Brother, Thought Police, Orwellian, are terms used to describe a world engaged in constant war, without laws, only government decrees, where a power structure controls information, manipulates thought and memory. Is the book prophetic, a warning or only a slightly exaggerated description of our own world? Nothwithstanding the serious issues raised, this is also a very ...
