AN AGE LIKE THIS 1920-1940 / ORWELL, GEORGE

Título : AN AGE LIKE THIS 1920-1940 Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: ORWELL, GEORGE, Autor Editorial: BOSTON : NONPAREIL Fecha de publicación: 2019 Número de páginas: 574 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-56792-133-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: LETTERS  NON-FICTION  ARTICLES  LITERATURE  BIOGRAPHY Resumen: Essays, journalism and essays by the indispensable George Orwell, spanning the first two decades of his writing career. Even many years after his death, the more we read of Orwell, the more clearly we can think about our world and ourselves. Orwell’s breadth of experience, compassion, and political insight make his early essays among his best. Here he witnesses two kinds of executions in Burma (“A Hanging” and “Shooting an Elephant”), fires salvos at British colonialism (“How a Nation is Exploited”), copes with poverty in Paris (“A Day in the Life of a Tramp”), and works in a bookshop in Hampstead (“Bookshop Memories”). It was also during this period that Orwell wrote and published Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier (originally published for the Left Book Club), and the memoir of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia. This first volume of the Collected Essays, Journalism, and Letters contains some of the most remarkable writing of Orwell's entire career and will be enjoyed by anyone who believes that words can go a long way toward changing the world.

AS I PLEASE 1943 - 1946 / ORWELL, GEORGE

Título : AS I PLEASE 1943 - 1946 Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: ORWELL, GEORGE, Autor Editorial: BOSTON : NONPAREIL Fecha de publicación: 2019 Número de páginas: 435p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-56792-135-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: LITERARY CRITICISM & THEORY  ESSAYS  AUTHOR BIOGRAPHYS Resumen: Essays, journalism and essays by the brilliant, indispensable George Orwell from 1943 to 1945. Even many decades after his death, the more we read of Orwell, the more clearly we can think about our world and ourselves. During the Second World War, George Orwell was rejected for service and so became the literary editor, reviewer, and frequent columnist of the left-wing weekly, Tribune. “What I have most wanted to do,” Orwell said, “is to make political writing into an art.” And there is ample proof here that he achieve his ambition. Included in this volume are reviews of works by authors as varied as C. S. Lewis and Arthur Koestler, the newspaper column, “As I Please,” and the brilliant essay, “A Nice Cup of Tea.” Also included are letters to T. S. Eliot, among others, while trying to convince publishers to take a chance on a book called Animal Farm. This third volume of the Collected Essays, Journalism, and Letters by George Orwell will be enjoyed by anyone who believes that words can go a long way toward changing the world
