Amazon.com description: Product Description:
«Escribo porque hay alguna mentira que quiero desvelar, algún hecho sobre el que quiero llamar la atención (...). Pero no podrÃa escribir un libro, ni tan siquiera un artÃculo largo, si no se tratara también una experiencia estética»
George Orwell,Por qué escribo
George Orwell es el ensayista inglés más importante del siglo XX. Esta amplia selección de ensayos presenta por primera vez en español el abanico completo de sus intereses y pasiones, desde la literatura a la polÃtica, pasando por la taza de té perfecta o por qué los libros son más caros de los cigarrillos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A generous and varied selectionÂthe only hardcover edition availableÂof the literary and political writings of one of the greatest essayists of the twentieth century. Although best known as the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four, George Orwell left an even more lastingly significant achievement in his voluminous essays, which dealt with all the great social, political, and literary questions of the day and exemplified an incisive prose style that is still universally admired. Included among the more than 240 essays in this volume are Orwellâs famous discussion of pacifism, ÂMy Country Right or Leftâ; his scathingly complicated views on the dirty work of imperialism in ÂShooting an Elephantâ; and his very firm opinion on how to make ÂA Nice Cup of Tea.â In his essays, Orwell elevated political writing to the level of art, and his motivating ideasÂhis desire for social justice, his belief in universal freedom and equality, and his concern for truth in languageÂare as enduringly relevant now, a hundred years after his birth, as ever.
