Generally it is about...

Winston Smith is man who is a member of the ruling Party in London, in the nation of Oceania. Wherewer he goes, everywhere  a face of the so-called Big Brother watces . Everywhere Winston goes, even his own home, the Party watches him through telescreens. Everywhere he  sees  the face of the Party’s leader, a figure known  as Big Brother. The Party controls everything in Oceania, even the people’s history and language. Currently, the Party is forcing the implementation of an invented language called Newspeak, which attempts to prevent political rebellion by eliminating all words related to it.

At the beginning Winston feels frustrated by the oppression and rigid control of the Party, which prohibits free thought, sex, and any expression of individuality.

I think this book about...

And now I will try to guess about what is this book. As it is the novel anti-utopia, it seems to me that it will be a question of  system in which people don`t feel well. Probably, they are suppressed by this system, but they are afraid to speak about it because they can be killed. Constantly someone watches them. This idea are suggested by a book cover. I think that the hero who rises against all this system has to be the main character of the book. And, I hope that finally, he will overthrow it. Perhaps, he will find adherents who will help with it. And still, maybe, he will have a girlfriend who will play a big role in everything. So, we will look, on how many I am right.

New day, new book

Hi, readers!
Today I`m going to start reading a new book. It`s "1984" written by George Orwell.


During a long time I could not determine with the choice of book that I`d like to read, because all that I found consisted of a small number of pages. As a result, I came across the novel "1984"  After I have found the same title in the our list of mandatory literature for the subject  "The literature and culture of the Great Britain and the United States of America", which dispelled my doubts about this book.

By the way, here is the web site which helped me http://english-e-books.net/. Perhaps one day it will help you, too, my reader.

So, I`m opening the first page...
