Babel
R. F. Kuang • 2022
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Poppy War “Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out.” -- Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of Brass From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal retort to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire. Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. 1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide… Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence?

1984
George Orwell • 2021
Edizione originale in lingua inglese, con nota introduttiva in italiano<br/><br/>”Il potere non è un mezzo, è un fine. Non si stabilisce una dittatura nell’intento di salvaguardare una rivoluzione; ma si fa una rivoluzione nell’intento di stabilire una dittatura. Il fine della persecuzione è la persecuzione. Il fine della tortura è la tortura. Il fine del potere è il potere.”<br/><br/>Il romanzo, pubblicato pochi anni dopo la conclusione del secondo conflitto mondiale, è una spietata e profetica riflessione sul potere. È considerato una delle più lucide rappresentazioni del totalitarismo e anche uno dei primi e più importanti esempi di romanzo distopico. L’azione si svolge infatti in un futuro prossimo del mondo (l’anno 1984) in cui il potere si concentra in tre immensi superstati: Oceania (con capitale Londra), Eurasia ed Estasia. Al vertice del potere politico in Oceania c’è il Grande Fratello (“Big Brother”), onnisciente e infallibile, che nessuno ha visto di persona ma di cui ovunque sono visibili grandi manifesti. Il Ministero della Verità, nel quale lavora il protagonista Smith, ha il compito di censurare libri e giornali non in linea con la politica ufficiale, di alterare la storia e di ridurre le possibilità espressive della lingua. Per quanto sia tenuto sotto controllo da telecamere, Smith comincia però a condurre un'esistenza “sovversiva”.<br/><br/>“Big Brother is watching you”: con questo slogan l’autore britannico ha mostrato la propria lungimiranza, ponendo l’accento su uno dei temi più caldi al giorno d’oggi: il controllo del potere sull’opinione pubblica perpetrato mediante i mezzi di comunicazione. Pietra miliare della letteratura inglese, 1984 è uno dei romanzi più conosciuti e forse più controversi del secolo scorso. Un romanzo in grado di smuovere le coscienze e di portare il lettore a riflettere sul passato, sul presente e soprattutto sul futuro.<br/><br/>George Orwell è lo pseudonimo di Eric Arthur Blair, nato in India da una famiglia scozzese nel 1903 e morto a Londra nel 1950. Giornalista culturale, saggista, critico letterario, Orwell è oggi considerato uno dei maggiori autori di lingua inglese del Novecento.<br/><br/>Con nota introduttiva.<br/>Collana Il Disoriente - Luoghi della lettura
