- 2019, George Orwell, translated by Nicola Gardini, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Mondadori:
  La realtà si fa sentire solo attraverso i bisogni della vita quotidiana—il bisogno di mangiare e di bere, di avere un tetto, di vestirsi, di non ingoiare un veleno, di non saltare da una finestra dell'ultimo piano, e così via.
  Reality only exerts its pressure through the needs of everyday life—the need to eat and drink, to get shelter and clothing, to avoid swallowing poison or stepping out of top-storey windows, and the like.
  (literally, “Reality makes itself felt only through the needs of day-to-day life—the need to eat and to drink, to have a roof, to get dressed, to not swallow a poison, to not jump from a last-story window, and so on.”)
