Captain Ahab's thirst for avenging his lost leg and ship prove to be his undoing. He makes a strange figure, teetering about his own ship on a leg made from a whale's jawbone, and seeking the prophetic mutterings of a harpoon crew member for clues on Moby Dick's location. Reading between the lines of whale oil and prophecy lies a fascinating tale of the nature of good and evil – and madness.
亚哈船长对于自己失去的腿和船有着强烈的复仇欲望,这全是拜他所赐。他的外形古怪,摇摇晃晃地用他那取材自鲸鱼颚骨的腿驾驶着船只,根据一位鱼叉船员预言般的喃喃自语搜寻着白鲸的下落。字里行间的鲸脂油和预言仿佛把读者带到了一个令人神魂颠倒的神话中,探寻着善与恶甚至是疯狂的本质。
"1984" by George Orwell
《1984》,作者:乔治·奥威尔
Winston and Julia are a young couple who meet under oppressive circumstances – he's an editor at the Ministry of Truth and she operates machines. Their habits of running away together, and thinking against the Party in the far-off land of Oceania, are noticed by the Thought Police. Throughout, history has no meaning except what the leaders give to it. This is one of the best books to read on the nature of totalitarian regimes, not because it's fiction, but because it has a ring of truth.
温斯顿和茱莉亚是一对年轻的夫妇,他们的生活面临着窘境——他是真理部的一位编辑而她是一名机器操作员。他们一起逃跑的习性以及在思想上对于远在大洋洲的党派的反对引起了思想警察的注意。纵观全文,历史除了领导者赋予的意义外别无他意。这是关于极权政体本质最好的小说之一,不是因为这是一部虚构的作品,而是因为它是真理之环。
