Beskrivelse af Politics and the English Language and Other Essays (Paperback)
George Orwell was renowned for his use and analysis of the English language. Anyone interested in language will find these six famous pithy essays instructive and engaging.
The essays are: Politics and the English Language.
Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver's Travels
The Prevention of Literature
Why I Write
Writers and Leviathan.
Poetry and the Microphone
This edition provides generous margins for the reader's notes.
George Orwell (born Eric Blair, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, died Jan 1950, London) was a leading British writer of the twentieth century. He studied at Wellington College and Eton (1917-1921) where he was a King's Scholar. After Eton, he followed family tradition and joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, until 1927 when, disgusted by imperialism, he resigned to pursue his boyhood dream of being a writer.
Orwell was a prolific journalist, essayist, novelist and nonfiction writer. He is remembered for his prescient writing and his unwavering commitment to truth and clarity of expression. His last two novels--Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four--have placed him at the pinnacle of British literature. He has been called "not the best, but the most important writer who ever lived." (The Economist, 2023)
