Orwell on Truth

`Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two equals four. If that is granted, all else follows.`This selection of George Orwell`s writing, from both his novels and non-fiction, gathers together his thoughts on the subject of truth. It ranges from discussion of personal honesty and morality, to freedom of speech and political propaganda. Orwell`s unique clarity of thought and illuminating scepticism provide the perfect defence against our post-truth world of fake news and confusion. `The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.`Includes an introduction by Alan Johnson and passages from Burmese Days, The Road to Wigan Pier, Coming Up for Air, The Lion and the Unicorn, Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell`s letters, war-time diary, criticism and essays including `Fascism and Democracy`, `Culture and Democracy`, `Looking Back on the Spanish War`, `As I Please`, `Notes on Nationalism`, `The Prevention of Literature`, `Politics and the English Language` and `Why I Write`.
