Sinopse
Características

George Orwell set out to make political writing into an art, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature - his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwells essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership.In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwells Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwells Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play.Anybody who wants to write better will learn much from this essay... It is simultaneously hilarious and a dreadful warning. - Allan Massie, The ScotsmanA writer who can - and must - be rediscovered with every age. - Irish Times
