1984: New Classic Edition

1984 (en su versión original en inglés: Nineteen Eighty-Four) es una novela política de ficción distópica, escrita por George Orwell entre 1947 y 1948 y publicada el 8 de junio de 1949. La novela introdujo los conceptos del omnipresente y vigilante Gran Hermano o Hermano Mayor, de la notoria habitación 101, de la ubicua policía del Pensamiento y de la neolengua, adaptación del inglés en la que se reduce y se transforma el léxico con fines represivos, basándose en el principio de que lo que no forma parte de la lengua, no puede ser pensado.Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell’s nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff’s attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell’s prescience of modern life–the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language–and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

The Secrets of Socrates Quotes & Philosophy: Western & Classic Literature on Life, Religion & Spirituality (Buddhism, Religion & Spirituality, … Philosophy, Classics & Zen) (Volume 1)

– The Secrets of Socrates: Philosophy, Happiness & Spirituality. –

How to live a more harmonious life, serene and happy? Recognized as one of the founder of modern Philosophy, Socrates certainly must have understood something about this… But before going further let’s define what philosophy means. Etymology is often the best way to deeply understand the meaning of words. In this context, philosophy literally means “love of wisdom”. It is also the study of the nature of existence, reality and knowledge. The love of wisdom is important for Socrates as often stated in his teachings. Socrates says: “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” He is also at the origin of what is called the Socratic method, which is a type of dialogue in which asking and answering questions is the way to stimulate critical thinking which in turn brings deeper understanding… The following quotes will eventually bring you insights and clear comprehension. By doing so, you will become convinced about the truth lying behind these quotes and therefore your own critical thinking and sense of logic will become more accurate. 
“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”
