Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes:
... Don Quixote constantly confuses reality and with his allucination.
The book is funny most of the time, engaging, particulalry if you like adventures, and to me the best part are the dialogues between Don Quixote and Sanco Pancha.
The other element I found fashinating is the role of women, particulalry if you think that in 17th Century in Spain the role of women was very much secondary. The way the author defines ... Read the full review: An engrossing book by Zawi |

Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes ... finish in one weekend. It is nearly 1000 pages thick. So, what is all the fuss about? Don Quixote is the main character here, he has read so many books about white nights bringing justice to the world that he can no longer stand to stay idle in his room and sets to bring justice to the world. Sancho Pancha, a peasant lured to follow him by the promise of a castle, will be his companion. The book can be read in many ways. Surely it is nearly never boring and the dialogues are very much captivating. It can be read in a social way, as a predecessor of Romanticism, for its ideals, and also as a painting of an era of transiction. Once I started it, I could no longer st...

Nineteen Eighty-four - George Orwell ... happend (although not as extremely). 1984 sets an example for any dystopian novel as all the qualities it needs are in there, and many of the features Orwell used have been replicated throughout history. Obviously you've hears of "Room101" or "Big Brother" but I can guarantee that if you've not read this book you don't know that they originated from "1984" Following the life of the protagonist Winston Smith, Orwell shows us his view of the dystopian world of Oceania and more in depth Great Britain (now named Airstrip One). Orwell was clearly expressing his views on how CCTV would start to play more of a vital role in the future and ... Read the full review: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU! by Dincht |

1984 - George Orwell ... slightest offence without finding yourself into trouble (something which far too many motorists know in light of the numberless speed cameras that catch even the slightest of speed-limit breaches). The sheer power of Big Brother is also a terrifying omen if this comes true. Winston's job in the Records Department of the Ministry of Plenty involves correcting the false information that the newspapers had told to make them into the truth, so that The Party are seen always to be right. The saying: "Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past" really sums up the total charge they hold. The present Government of ...
