1984George
Orwell, Erich Fromm (Afterword) 6.95*
Newspeak, doublethink, thoughtcrime--in 1984, George Orwell created
a whole vocabulary of words concerning totalitarian control that have
since passed into our common vocabulary. More importantly, he has portrayed
a chillingly credible dystopia. In our deeply anxious world, the seeds
of unthinking conformity are everywhere in evidence; and Big Brother
is always looking for his chance.
The
Da Vinci Code Dan Brown $14.97 *
With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent
and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder
mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years
of Western history. A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre
museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected
by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking
agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages
to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted
cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist,
can untangle.
