Título : ALIFE IN LETTERS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: ORWELL, GEORGE, Autor ; DAVISON, PETER, Autor Editorial: NEW YORK : LIVERIGHT PUBLISHING CORPORATION Fecha de publicación: 2010 Número de páginas: 542p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-87140-462-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: ORWELL GEORGE 1903-1950 CORRESPONDENCE DAVISON PETER EDITOR OF COMPILATION Resumen: From his school days to his tragic early death, George Orwell, who never wrote an autobiography, chronicled the dramatic events of his turbulent life in a profusion of powerful letters. Indeed, one of the twentieth century’s most revered icons was a lively, prolific correspondent who developed in rich, nuanced dispatches the ideas that would influence generations of writers and intellectuals. This historic work―never before published in America and featuring many previously unseen letters―presents an account of Orwell’s interior life as personal and absorbing as readers may ever see.
Over the course of a lifetime, Orwell corresponded with hundreds of people, including many distinguished political and artistic figures. Witty, personal, and profound, the letters tell the story of Orwell’s passionate first love that ended in devastation and explains how young Eric Arthur Blair chose the pseudonym "George Orwell." In missives to luminaries such as T. S. Eliot, Stephen Spender, Arthur Koestler, Cyril Connolly, and Henry Miller, he spells out his literary and philosophical beliefs. Readers will encounter Orwell’s thoughts on matters both quotidian (poltergeists and the art of playing croquet) and historical―including his illuminating descriptions of war-shattered Barcelona and pronouncements on bayonets and the immanent cruelty of chaining German prisoners.
The letters also reveal the origins of his famous novels. To a fan he wrote, "I think, and have thought ever since the war began…that our cause is the better, but we have to keep on making it the better, which involves constant criticism." A paragraph before, he explained that the British intelligentsia in 1944 were "perfectly ready for dictatorial methods, secret police, systematic falsification of history," prefiguring the themes of 1984. Entrusting the manuscript of Animal Farm to Leonard Moore, his literary agent, Orwell describes it as "a sort of fairy story, really a fable with political meaning…This book is murder from the Communist point of view."
Hardly known outside a small circle of Orwell scholars, these rare letters include Orwell’s message to Dwight Macdonald of 5 December 1946 explaining Animal Farm; his correspondence with his first translator, R. N. Raimbault (with English translations of the French originals); and the moving encomium written about Orwell by his BBC head of department after his service there. The volume concludes with a fearless account of the painful illness that took Orwell’s life at age forty-seven. His last letter concerns his son and his estate and closes with the words, "Beyond that I can’t make plans at present."
Meticulously edited and fully annotated by Peter Davison, the world’s preeminent Orwell scholar, the volume presents Orwell “in all his varieties” and his relationships with those most close to him, especially his first wife, Eileen. Combined with rare photographs and hand-drawn illustrations, George Orwell: A Life in Letters offers "everything a reader new to Orwell needs to know…and a great deal that diehard fans will be enchanted to have"Reserva

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.Reserva
