Animal Farm 1945 : Nineteen Eighty-Four1949 By George Orwell

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”— George Orwell

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” 

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” 

— George Orwell, Animal Farm

高一時，我每天跑台中圖書館，借台灣商務印書館在50年代翻印的叢書："漢譯世界名著 甲乙"和"萬有文庫會要"。當然，那時候以為Animal Farm By George Orwell的英文不難，我不必看梁實秋翻譯的《萬壽圖》(圖書館目錄有此書，媒借出過。).......

英國紐卡索大學（Newcastle University）維吾爾文化專家芬梨（Joanne Smith Finley），11月27日在喬治•華盛頓大學（George Washington University）一場座談會，分享她的研究見解指出。20多年來，她試圖瞭解維吾爾人的身份認同感，以及他們對中共政策所進行的抗爭。當談到她今年到訪新疆的見聞時，芬梨語重心長，甚至數度哽咽。她表示：中國指稱，新疆維穩行動是為了「淨化」伊斯蘭教習俗，「去除」宗教極端化，「消滅」思想偏見。從我的觀察見聞，中共目前對維吾爾人的打壓行徑，簡直就像強姦（symbolic rape）。

英國學者芬梨摘錄英國作家喬治•奧威爾（George Orwell）代表作《1984》中的一段話。她特別提到，這像是維吾爾人苦難的寫照。其內容如此寫道：「要把你（們）壓迫到你無法回頭地步...你心中的一切都將淪為死灰...你會變得空虛。把你（們）榨乾之後，接下來我們會填補你內心空白。」

"That is invariably the case in the East; a story always sounds clear enough at a distance, but the nearer you get to the scene of events the vaguer it becomes. Some of the people said that the elephant had gone in one direction, , some said that he had gone in another, some professed not even to have heard of any elephant."
--from "Shooting an Elephant" (1936) by George Orwell

A generous and varied selection–the only hardcover edition available–of the literary and political writings of one of the greatest essayists of the twentieth century. Although best known as the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four, George Orwell left an even more lastingly significant achievement in his voluminous essays, which dealt with all the great social, political, and literary questions of the day and exemplified an incisive prose style that is still universally admired. Included among the more than 240 essays in this volume are Orwell’s famous discussion of pacifism, “My Country Right or Left”; his scathingly complicated views on the dirty work of imperialism in “Shooting an Elephant”; and his very firm opinion on how to make “A Nice Cup of Tea.” In his essays, Orwell elevated political writing to the level of art, and his motivating ideas–his desire for social justice, his belief in universal freedom and equality, and his concern for truth in language–are as enduringly relevant now, a hundred years after his birth, as ever.
