Baffling...

In the Japanese translation, is Big Brother called Onii-chan?

>>8183140
Probably onii-san, how it's actually said by everyone who actually speaks north korean

>>8183140
Don't know

Does matters?

Japanese words have to have each syllable end with a vowel or their n/m/ng sound. This results in loan words that sound ridiculous to people who natively speak the language its loned from

>>8183247
But why couldn't it just have been onii-san? Or some other term similar to it?

>>8183255
It could have been it depends on the translator
The main character has to be spelt ウィンストン・スミス uinsutan sumisu due to limitations of the language unless you spelt it with the latin alphabet. It isn't here >>8183208

Strictly inferior to /We/

2+2/5

It's a pretty great book that is widely disliked hear due to how entry level it is. Homage to Catalonia is Orwell's best books though.

seems fair.

What did he mean by this?

>sex liberates you from the system!

3/10, rip off of We, which is a much better work albeit gratingly edgy

4.5/5
The other 0.5 is due to the unidimentional characters.

It's brilliant, but very little can be said about that hasn't been already.

Such a spookily Orwellian novella.


Incredible that Orwell was able to almost perfectly present these modern, politically correct times.

Characters were made of paper. Other than that, stellar ideas make it top-notch.
