George Orwell · 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Babel Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution
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?

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency. This work is independently produced under the principle of nominative fair use.

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

¿Y si tu libro favorito fuera mucho más que una gran historia? Casio Oliver está obsesionado con Preludio de invierno, la primera obra de Óscar Salvatierra, un escritor ya retirado. Aguablanca, el pueblo donde se desarrolla la historia, es el sitio donde Casio pasará el último mes de verano, entre sus pinos, fantasmas y recuerdos olvidados, mientras él intenta dejar atrás la pesadilla en la que se ha convertido su vida desde hace unos meses. Lo que Casio no sabe es que su propia historia ya comenzó hace tiempo, con un chico que le ofreció un paraguas bajo la lluvia, una mansión sobre un acantilado y un libro que esconde magia, muerte y amor entre sus páginas. En el abismo que separa la magia de la realidad, Casio tendrá que decidir por qué luchar y por qué vivir, para que su propia historia valga la pena ser contada...
