Orwell and H.G Wells https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-time-machine-by-hg-wells-author-of.html have had opposing views, mainly on science, the latter seems to have seen science as the solution to anything

 

There is also the problem of Hitler, dismissed by H.G. Wells as the ‘screaming little defective in Berlin’ – also, the German army was not ready, they could not push thorough the front lines, blitz Krieg was finished

 

Words to that effect, but clearly, Wells had been wrong in his predictions, and Orwell writes about this, it must be emphasized that the latter is a cautious, he writes that in the meantime, the Nazis have advanced in the Soviet Union

Without venturing to make a prophecy – we know that the Germans would be defeated, by the allies, who are at odds now, though Orange Woland, leader of NATO so to say, would rather side with the enemy, the butcher in the Kremlin, rather than his country’s friends, which he punishes with high tariffs, while embracing Putin

 

H.G. Wells attacked Churchill https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/08/darkest-hour-writer-anthony-mccarten.html calling him a flag waver, afraid that the Bolsheviks would win and would make those like Winston irrelevant

Orwell exposes the fallacies of Wells, take the worshipping of science, which is at its peak in Germany, order, industry, but all serving ideas fit for ‘the stone age’, indeed the essays are so overwhelming and this one is no exception

 

Geroge Orwell makes the prediction that if Hitler wins, he would have four casts, like in India, the rulers would be the Nazi party, then the German overlords, the occupied Europeans and last would-be African peoples

The latter would work as slaves, Hitler called them ‘half monkeys’, Orange Woland referred to African states as ‘shit hole countries’ https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/confidence-man-making-of-donald-trump.html

 

George Orwell is fair, judicious, he says that Wells had been like a prophet, with his predictions, the airplane, but there are some aspects that are absurd, he placed in opposition science, and what it represents with

 

-          Religion and…horses

 

I cannot understand what Wells had against horses, except writing helps one see from a different angle, just as I put down the incomprehension, I realized that the animal was a symbol of the old, science brought the age of the automobile and the dismissal of Equus

 

Now for my standard closing of the note with a question, and invitation – I am on Goodreads as Realini Ionescu, at least for the moment, if I keep on expressing my views on Orange Woland aka TACO, it may be a short-lived presence

Also, maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/02/is-this-unique-could-it-make-money.htm  – as it is, this is a unique technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not know how to get the benefits from it, other than the exercise per se

 

 There is also the small matter of working for AT&T – this huge company asked me to be its Representative for Romania and Bulgaria, on the Calling Card side, which meant sailing into the Black Sea wo meet the US Navy ships, travelling to Sofia, a lot of activity, using my mother’s two bedrooms flat as office and warehouse, all for the grand total of $250, raised after a lot of persuasion to the staggering $400…with retirement ahead, there are no benefits, nothing…it is a longer story, but if you can help get the mastodont to pay some dues, or have an idea how it can happen, let me know

 

As for my role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html

 

Some favorite quotes from To The Hermitage and other works

 

‘Fiction is infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating, noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment, twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more, books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that wise epic by an often foolish author…’

Epistolary edited by Gabriel Liiceanu http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/11/50-minutes-with-plesu-and-liiceanu-10.html - 10 out of 10

  Epistolary edited by Gabriel Liiceanu http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/11/50-minutes-with-plesu-and-liiceanu-10.html 10 out of 10     This wonderful book contains letters exchanged between the brightest minds we have in this realm – there is the exception of Eugen Simion, the late president of the Academy here, a rather horrid attack on luminaries that were so much wiser than this fellow, who came to lead a forum that should be only for the crème de la crème, yet, his presence at the top in fact reveals the ‘values’ that have reached what should be the chamber of the nec plus ultra – and as such, much of what is being debated is quite inaccessible   Ergo, the spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer, and maybe the way out of accusations of spam – one of the notes I have posted on Goodreads, Cleo From 5 to 7 http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/07/cleo-from-5-to-7-aka-cleo-de-5-7-by.html has been deleted, because it was considered spam, while the one who is the #...

The Killer by Luc Jacamon 10 out of 10

  The Killer by Luc Jacamon 10 out of 10     Reading about killers, or watching the stupendous The Killer, with fabulous Michael Fassbinder in the leading role may seem like the wrong idea, in a world that has some nasty wars taking place in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, and the danger is that they might be expanding, as it is, Iran is attacking the USA, through its proxies Hezbollah, Houthis in Yemen (they have launched missiles) and militias in Iraq and Syria   It all depends on how good the author is, what the adaptation looks like, cast, director, you could have a magnum opus that is a crime story, such as Crime and Punishment http://realini.blogspot.com/2020/06/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor.html by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - an algorithm has recently looked at various relevant compilations and established the 50 Greatest Novels and the story of Raskolnikov is on it, together with other astounding works, Marcel Proust is at number one The Killer starts...

  The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom by Tobias Smollett – included on The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read List http://poemeglume.blogspot.com/2023/04/1000-novels-everyone-must-read.html 7 out of 10     The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom was first published in 1753, which might mean that it is not for the tastes of readers from our times, not even middle aged ones, like yours truly (who is actually sixty in a couple of months, but like to adopt the ‘the sixties are the new forties’ slogan) who has abandoned this   Hence, the spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer to avoid being (again) censored for spam – though I did not get the inclusion in that category, a reading of the definition could help, but this being my note, until it is obliterated by the Goodreads staff, and then it will still be available at the new blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/ I say that spam is used for the unrequested messages we receive, meant to make us buy things ...
