This is a brilliant book - little bite-sized chunks of vintage Orwell, perfect coffee-break reading. It's mainly book reviews, letters and diary entries, with a few more substantial essays, chronologically arranged. The footnotes at the end of each entry are very helpful. I'm up to 1940, and the themes so far have been colonialism, the USSR and the run-up to WWII. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This major new collection brings together the best of George Orwell's powerful political essays and journalism with his evergreen satire on totalitarianism, Animal Farm. They show the vast range of his political interests, with articles expressing his views on subjects from corrupt political language to the oppressive British Empire; his masterly wartime Socialist polemic, 'The Lion and the Unicorn'; a wry review of Mein Kampf; a defence of Nineteen Eighty-Four; and extracts from his controversial list of 'Crypto-communists'. These writings are testament to Orwell's lifelong passion for politics, for telling unpalatable truths and exposing injustice, yet doing so with wit and humanity- in his words, making 'political writing into an art'.
