Julia was twenty-six years old... and she worked, as he had guessed, on the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department. She enjoyed her work, which consisted chiefly in running and servicing a powerful but tricky electric motor... She could describe the whole process of composing a novel, from the general directive issued by the Planning Committee down to the final touching-up by the Rewrite Squad. But she was not interested in the final product. She "didn't much care for reading," she said. Books were just a commodity that had to be produced, like jam or bootlaces.

 A stunning collection of 300 photographs of some of the most celebrated actors, artists, models, First Ladies, and social figures from around the world, drawing on stories from the pages of Vogue as well as never-before-published images by iconic photographers.

Nineteen Eighty-Four - Wikipedia
Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) is a dystopian novel and cautionary tale by English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime.
Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society.
[2][3] Orwell, a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian state in the novel on the Soviet Union in the era of Stalinism, and Nazi Germany.[4] More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated.

populist conspiracy theories about a New World
Order not only had been embraced by many seekers of stigmatized knowledge but also had seeped into popular culture, thereby indugurating a period during the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the United States where people have been actively preparing for apocalyptic millenarian scenarios. [4][6] Those political scientists are concerned that mass hysteria over New World Order conspiracy theories could eventually have devastating effects on American political life, ranging from escalating lone-wolf terrorism to the rise to power of authoritarian ultranationalist demagogues.[4][6][9] The New World Order is a non-fiction book written by H.G. Wells and was published by Secker & Warburg in January
1940. In The New World Order, Wells proposed a framework of international functionalism that could guide the world towards achieving world peace. [1] To achieve these ends, Wells asserted that a socialist and scientifically planned world government would need to be formed to defend human rights. [2] Wells's motivation for writing The New World Order was based upon the outbreak of World War II. [3] Wells was concerned that the Allies had no clear statement of aims for fighting in the war and that this would lead to the continuation of the pre-existing balance of power. [4] In The New World Order, Wells writes that without as CLONES

“Why I Write” by George Orwell
Orwell discusses the reasons why he writes. He breaks it down to four reasons: sheer egoism, aesthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse, and political purpose. Each of these four reasons for writers deciding to write may correspond in some way to the deaths authors may face. After all, if an author’s ego becomes too bloated that it overshadows the work, they may face death number three. If they write something for pure aesthetic purposes that could perhaps be too full of purple prose or dense description, their writing may eventually fade. Their political writing may win them lauds and jeers alike, causing them to be placed on a pedestal they may topple from at a later date or to be burned in effigy, once again facing death number three. Regardless, whatever their meanings and intentions when first publishing, whichever reason they originally chose may be lost within the reader’s interpretation. Orwell’s essay includes personal backstory that explores how his childhood and the era he lived in shaped what he wrote and why he wrote it. Orwell is often most known for 1984 and Animal Farm, two novels that are still widely read (and banned) today, with much of the text being twisted for whatever political agenda fits it today. One may argue that he has faced death number two (that once published, the audience gains control over the text’s interpretation) more than the others (excluding physical death itself). His essay provides the writer’s perspective, rather than that of the literary critic or theorist, thus providing insight into how writers approach their own writing processes. Most intriguing, in some regards, is how fresh it reads for 2022 and how Orwell’s fierce stance for socialist democracy over authoritarianism remains relevant in today’s climate.

TOP 3 Favoriete boeken
Mijn beste lezers,
Ik dacht om van mijn favoriete boeken een TOP3 te maken zodat jullie een beter zicht over mijn boek portfolio hebben.
Ik vind veel boeken leuk, maar dit zijn er 3 die echt bij mij zijn gebleven en die ik aan iedereen aanraadt om te lezen.
The book thief/ De boekendief - Markus Zusak.
Uitgeverij : the Penguin
Eerste publicatie: 2007
Seizoen om dit boek te lezen : winter
Dit boek speelt zich af tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog in Duitsland. Het boek is geschreven in de derde persoon en de hoofdrolspeler is Liesel. Een duits meisje dat haar familie op een jonge leeftijd verloor en zo bij een pleeggezin terecht is gekomen. Ze houdt van boeken, maar jammer genoeg kan ze niet lezen. Tijdens de oorlog zat ze veilig bij haar pleeggezin, maar ze maakt er natuurlijk veel dingen mee.
Ik vind dat dit boek zeer mooi geschreven is, in het boek zelf vind je kleine poëtische fragmenten dat meer context geven aan de situatie en de gevoelens van de personages.
Ik vind ook dat de personages zeer mooi zijn omschreven. Ze bevatten veel detail en hebben elk een heel ander carater. Dat zorgt ervoor dat het boek nog veel beter is.
Daarnaast vind ik dat de cover van het boek echt heel creatief ontworpen is ( als je het boek volledig leest zal je misschien de cover beter begrijpen) :
Tumblr media
Malibu rising - Taylor Jenkins Reid
Uitgeverij: Ballantine Books
Eerste publicatie: 2021
Seizoen om dit te lezen: zomer
Taylor Jenkins Reid is een best bekende schrijver onder de jeugd. Één van haar bekendste boeken is “the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo”, maar dit boek is ook best bekend. Ik vind dit zeker een must read voor in de zomer.
Dit boek speelt zich af in Malibu, in California een staat dat in west-Amerika ligt, waar de familie van een arm meisje een restaurant bezit. June heeft veel dromen, maar meest waarschijnlijk kan ze die niet uitbrengen omdat ze het restaurant van haar familie verder moet blijven draaien. Tot op een dag dat ze een bepaalde jongen ontmoet die Mick heet. Die heeft ook grote dromen om artist te worden...
Een hoofdstuk later kom je al meer te weten hoe hun verhaal verloopt tijdens al die jaren. In dit boek worden er twee tijden op dezelfde tijd verteld.
Ik vind dit boek leuk omdat de spanning door heel het verhaal al maar groter en groter wordt. Volgens mij heeft het verhaal een zeer goede plot op het einde.
Ten tweede vond ik het levensverhaal van June zeer interessant, daarmee bedoel ik de evenementen die zij moest meemaken op zo'n jonge leeftijd.
Dit boek bevat daarnaast ook een vervolging van een van de personages die je in dit boek leert kennen (naam van nieuw boek : Carrie Soto is Back). Het boek is pas onlangs uitgekomen.
Tumblr media
1984 - George Orwell
Uitgeverij: Secker & Warburg
Eerste publicatie: 1949
Seizoen om dit te lezen: herfst/winter
Dit boek is zeer verschillende in vergeleken met mijn twee andere keuzes.
Het boek is fictief maar is gebaseerd op feiten van regimes die je vandaag de dag nog kan vinden. Het gaat hier over een regime dat de mensen de hele tijd controleren. De personages in dit boek hebben geen recht om gevoelens te bevatten, ze mogen niet slecht denken over de Big Brother (hoe het regime wordt genoemd) en mogen zeker en vast vrouw of kinderen hebben. Als je één van deze regels overtreedt en ze betrappen je dan wordt je door de overheid opgesloten en gebrainwashed.
Ik ben dit boek beginnen lezen omdat het al heel lang op mijn lijstje zat, maar dacht dat het niet voor mijn leeftijd was. In het begin vond ik het moeilijk om de context te begrijpen, maar eenmaal ik het begreep las ik de rest van het boek uit in minder dan 3 dagen.
Ik vond het boek in het algemeen al zeer interessant. Maar wat het voor mij meer boeiender maakte, is dat dit boek juist na de tweede wereld oorlog is geschreven. Dat George Orwell al dit dacht over onze toekomstige maatschappij is wel frappant.
Daarnaast vond ik het verhaal zelf heel mooi en leuk geschreven. Ik zat zo diep in het verhaal van het boek dat ik het niet kon neerzetten.
