素晴らしい。でも二度と読まない。
ハクスリーの「素晴らしき新世界」と合わせて読むと、何とも言えない気分になります。
ものすごく上手で、読んでるうちは面白いのに、読んだあとは、絶対に二度と読みたくないと思うタイプの小説でした。
社会科学系の研究をする人（心理学・社会学・歴史学・国際関係・思想関係etc.）は読んでおくとよいでしょう。
専門の文献に「素晴らしき新世界」と合わせてよく引用されているので。。
Deviates corrected for their own good
In a society that has eliminated many imbalances, surplus goods, and even class struggle, there are bound to be deviates; Winston Smith is one of those. He starts out, due to his inability to doublethink, with thoughtcrime. This is in a society that believes a thought is as real as the deed. Eventually he graduates through a series of misdemeanors to illicit sex and even plans to overthrow the very government that took him in as an orphan.
If he gets caught, he will be sent to the “Ministry of Love” where they have a record of 100% cures for this sort of insanity. They will even forgive his past indiscretions.
Be sure to watch the three different movies made from this book:
1984 (1954) Peter Cushing is Winston Smith
1984 (1956) Edmond O’Brien is Winston Smith
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) John Hurt is Winston smith
