▾Empfehlungen von LibraryThing  822 Schöne neue Welt von Aldous Huxley (nathanm, chrisharpe, MinaKelly, li33ieg, haraldo, Ludi_Ling, Morteana, Waldstein)li33ieg: 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451: 3 essential titles that remind us of the need to keep our individual souls pure. Ludi_Ling: Really, the one cannot be mentioned without the other. Actually, apart from the dystopian subject matter, they are very different stories, but serve as a great counterpoint to one another. Waldstein: It's essential to read Huxley's and Orwell's books together. Both present the ultimate version of the totalitarian state, but there the similarities end. While Orwell argues in favour of hate and fear, Huxley suggests that pleasure and drugs would be far more effective as controlling forces. Who was the more prescient prophet? That's what every reader should decide for him- or herself.… (mehr) 877 Farm der Tiere von George Orwell (JGKC, haraldo)726 Fahrenheit 451 von Ray Bradbury (readafew, hipdeep, Booksloth, rosylibrarian, moietmoi, haraldo, BookshelfMonstrosity)readafew: Both books are about keeping the people in control and ignorant. hipdeep: 1984 is scary like a horror movie. Fahrenheit 451 is scary like the news. So - do you want to see something really scary? BookshelfMonstrosity: A man's romance-inspired defiance of menacing, repressive governments in bleak futures are the themes of these compelling novels. Control of language and monitors that both broadcast to and spy on people are key motifs. Both are dramatic, haunting, and thought-provoking.… (mehr) 401 Der Report der Magd von Margaret Atwood (citygirl, cflorente, wosret, norabelle414, readingwolverine)382 Uhrwerk Orange von Anthony Burgess (wosret, Anonymer Nutzer)4013 Herr der Fliegen von William Golding (vegetarianflautist, avid_reader25)282 Wir von Yevgeny Zamyatin (hippietrail, BGP, soylentgreen23, roby72, timoroso, MEStaton, Anonymer Nutzer, Sylak, humashaikh)hippietrail: The original dystopian novel from which both Huxley and Orwell drew inspiration. timoroso: Zamyatin's "We" was not just a precursor of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" but the work Orwell took as a model for his own book. Sylak: A great influence in the writing of his own book. 235 Einer flog über das Kuckucksnest von Ken Kesey (readerbabe1984)192 V wie Vendetta: Der Kult-Comic zum Film von Alan Moore (aethercowboy)aethercowboy: The world of V for Vendetta is very reminiscent of the world of 1984. 206 Hüter der Erinnerung von Lois Lowry (cflorente, readerbabe1984)90 Sonnenfinsternis von Arthur Koestler (BGP, ivan.frade)ivan.frade: Both books talk about revolution and the people, individual rights vs. common wellness. "darkness at noon" is pretty similar to 1984, without the especulation/science-fiction ingredient. 112 Schöne neue Welt - Ein Roman der Zukunft // Dreissig Jahre danach - oder Wiedersehen mit der Schönen neuen Welt von Aldous Huxley (thebookpile)101 Kallocain von Karin Boye (andejons, Anonymer Nutzer)andejons: The totalitarian state works very similar in both books, but the control in Kallocain seems more plausible, which makes it more frightening. 91 Wiedersehen mit der schönen neuen Welt von Aldous Huxley (pyrocow)102 Little Brother von Cory Doctorow (infiniteletters, suzanney, JFDR)JFDR: 1984's Big Brother is Little Brother's namesake. 40 Nacht der braunen Schatten von Katharine Burdekin (Anonymer Nutzer)Anonymer Nutzer: Huxley and Zamyatin are practically the canon recommendations for this work, so much so that they hardly need to be mentioned, let alone mentioned again.. Therefore, let me instead recommend a lesser-known work that likewise influenced Orwell's work: Burdekin's dystopian future-history, Swastika Night… (mehr) 40 Die Maschine versagt von E. M.

Es war ein strahlend-kalter Apriltag, und die Uhren schlugen dreizehn. Winston Smith, das Kinn an die Brust gezogen, um dem scheußlichen Wind zu entgehen, schlüpfte rasch durch die Glastüren der Victory Mietskaserne, doch nicht rasch genug, um zu verhindern, dass mit ihm auch ein grießiger Staubwirbel hereinwehte.  | |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU." "WAR IS PEACE. SLAVERY IS FREEDOM. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." Freedom is the freedom to know that two plus two make four. Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two plus two might make five, but when one was designing a fun or an airplane they had to make four. Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is death. The best books... are those that tell you what you know already. We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness. If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself. Power is in inflicting pain and humiliations. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.... We are creating a world of fear and treachery and torment ... a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless.... In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement.... There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever. She had become a physical necessity, something that he not only wanted but felt that he had a right to. The whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought ... every year fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. ... What was required was short clipped words of unmistakable meaning which ... roused the minimum of echoes in the speaker's mind. ... The smaller the area of choice, the smaller the temptation to take thought. Winston fitted a nib into the penholder and sucked it to get the grease off.
The pen was an archaic instrument, seldom used even for signatures, and he had procured one, furtively and with some difficulty, simply because of a feeling that the beautiful creamy paper deserved to be written on with a real nib instead of being scratched with an ink-pencil. Actually he was not used to writing by hand. Apart from very short notes, it was usual to dictate everything into the speak-write, which was of course impossible for his present purpose. Such things he saw could not happen today. Today there were fear, hatred, and pain, but no dignity of emotion or deep and complex sorrows. And if all the others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records contained the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. Winston, in addition to his regular work, spent long periods every day in going through back files of the Times and altering and embellishing news items which were to be quoted in speeches. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. In so far as he had time to remember it, he was not troubled by the fact that every word he murmured into the speakwrite, every stroke of his ink pencil, was a deliberate lie. War prisoners apart, the average citizen of Oceania never sets eyes on a citizen of either Eurasia or Eastasia, and he is forbidden the knowledge of foreign languages. If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them are lies. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. "How does one man assert power over another, Winston?"
Winston thought. "By making him suffer," he said. Countless other words such as honor, justice, morality, internationalism, democracy, science, and religion had simply ceased to exist. ...a Party member called upon to make a political or ethical judgment should be able to spray forth the correct opinions as automatically as a machine gun spraying forth bullets. | |

Die Prinzipien von Neusprech und vor allem Doppeldenk sind sehr gut durchdacht und zeugen von einer großen psychologischen Einsicht des Autors. Sehr gruselig, vor allem im letzten Teil, der in den Gefängnissen von Oceania spielt. Kalt, intelligent, grausam.
In Teilen werden die dort aufgeführten Prinzipien heute tatsächlich umgesetzt, nicht so extrem, natürlich, subtiler, aber nichtsdestoweniger abstoßend.
Die eingebaute Liebesgeschichte fand ich letztlich unnötig, das Buch hätte weitgehend auch ohne funktioniert, auch wenn zum Schluss daran einige Punkte aufgezeigt werden – sie hätte zumindest in den anfänglichen Teilen nicht so viel Raum einnehmen müssen. Dafür ein halber Punkt Abzug.
Kein schönes Buch, aber ein sehr lehrreiches. Von diesem Buch sollte man nicht nur gehört haben, sondern es selbst von vorne bis hinten gelesen haben. (
