Description

Nouvelle traduction du chef-d’œuvre de George Orwell. Après la Révolution, le parti de l’Angsoc domine Océania. Sous la figure de Tonton, il impose une société où la réalité n’a plus de sens. Le Parti contrôle le passé, en manipulant les archives, le présent, par la surveillance permanente, et compte dominer le futur en créant un langage où toute pensée séditieuse sera impossible. Winston Smith, un employé du ministère de la Vérité, commet le crime ultime: le crimepense. Pourra-t-il échapper à la Police des Pensées, qui traque les hérétiques ? Trouvera-t-il des alliés dans ce monde en guerre, ou est-il seul dans son combat ? Parviendra-t-il à rejoindre la mystérieuse Fraternité, l’organisation souterraine de l’opposant Emmanuel Goldstein ? Cette aventure explore les méandres d’une société dystopique, où la surveillance constante, la destruction de la langue, l’état de guerre permanente et le contrôle des esprits permettent à un pouvoir brutal et autoritaire de se maintenir en place.

    I honestly don’t know what to say about this book… It’s obviously a commentary on past governments/events and our society as a whole, it’s obviously a warning about what might happen to us if we stay dormant over those who rule us, it’s obviously an essay on humanity… But it didn’t really make me feel anything. Maybe that’s to show how bad things have gotten in this global political climate but I was just reading it just to say I read it. Nothing really surprised me. I do think it was an important book, especially for the time period it was released and I do believe it’s a must-read. It’s just not one of my favorite books.
  • It's a good thing I've learned some French

    Haha, I've read the reviews lamenting the fact that this publication is entirely in French (I too initial thought the "FR" meant "Free"). But, I'm grabbing it and using it as an opportunity to refresh my French reading comprehension, and I'll probably find the English version elsewhere anyways 😂.

    Nothing against the book, the rating is fully directed at apple for pushing this version to an English speaking audience.
