Summary

«Mentre nel libro di Huxley si parla veramente di un altro mondo, di un'altra civiltà, in 1984 è il nostro mondo che agonizza davanti a noi. »

1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four) è uno dei più celebri romanzi di George Orwell, pubblicato nel 1949 ma iniziato a scrivere nel 1948 (anno da cui deriva il titolo, ottenuto appunto dall'inversione delle ultime due cifre).

Le Monde lo posiziona al 22º posto della classifica dei 100 migliori libri mai scritti.

La specificità del romanzo 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four): "Nella comprensione profonda delle possibilità di manipolazione psicologica dello stato totalitario, va individuata la vera specificità di 1984, il romanzo più famoso di Orwell. Nell'incubo fantascientifico lì descritto, l'autorità dell'Oceania è programmaticamente orientata ad imporre un linguaggio inadatto all'espressione delle potenzialità critiche del pensiero.

Cerca quindi di abituare le menti umane alla tolleranza (diciamo sudditanza) per le contraddizioni logiche che caratterizzano la propaganda politica del Grande Fratello, e cerca di canalizzare l'emotività individuale nelle sole direzioni utilizzabili per la riproduzione dell'ordine sociale. Orwell ha presentato in modo così accurato processi mentali ("bipensiero") e strutture linguistiche ("neolingua") funzionali all'irrazionalismo sociale totalitario, che 1984 è diventato una citazione d'obbligo nei manuali di psicologia sociale e negli studi sulla comunicazione interpersonale"

    19 Years Old – And So Damn cheeky is an explicit, provocative, and deeply sensual audiobook about temptation, lust, and the dangerous thrill of forbidden desire. Told from the perspective of a married man in his late thirties, the story follows how his dull, routine marriage is shaken when a young, self-confident au pair enters his home. 
    What begins as innocent glances and playful smiles quickly spirals into a secret world of fantasies, hidden encounters, and overwhelming lust. The au pair embodies everything he feels he has lost—youth, passion, freedom—and she knows exactly how to play the game. 
    This is not a story about innocence. It is about the hunger for what is forbidden, the lust that blurs boundaries, and the choices that can destroy a family. With explicit language and vivid erotic scenes, 19 Years Old invites adult listeners into a world of seduction, secrecy, and raw desire. 
    A daring and unapologetic work of German erotica, written and narrated by Kris Sinnlich, this audiobook is intended for mature audiences only (18+).
