Essays

The articles collected in George Orwell`s Essays illuminate the life and work of one of the most individual writers of this century – a man who elevated political writing to an art. This outstanding collection brings together Orwell`s longer, major essays and a fine selection of shorter pieces that includes `My Country Right or Left`, `Decline of the English Murder`, `Shooting an Elephant` and `A Hanging`. With great originality and wit Orwell unfolds his views on subjects ranging from a revaluation of Charles Dickens to the nature of Socialism, from a comic yet profound discussion of naughty seaside postcards to a spirited defence of English cooking. Displaying an almost unrivalled mastery of English plain prose, Orwell`s essays created a unique literary manner from the process of thinking aloud and continue to challenge, move and entertain.This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Bernard Crick.
