George Orwell | Essais | Penguin Books | Date de parution: 1984 | ISBN-13:9780140031522 | Couverture: Rigide | Anglais
“He was a man, like Lawrence, whose personality shines out in everything he said or wrote.” — Cyril Connolly
George Orwell requested in his will that no biography of him should be written. This collection of essays, reviews, articles, and letters which he wrote between the ages of seventeen and forty-six (when he died) is arranged in chronological order. The four volumes provide at once a wonderfully intimate impression of, and a “splendid monument” to, one of the most honest and individual writers of this century — a man who forged a unique literary manner from the process of thinking aloud, who possessed an unerring gift for going straight to the point, and who elevated political writing to an art.
The second volume principally covers the two years when George Orwell worked as a Talks Assistant (and later Producer) in the Indian section of the B.B.C. At the same time he was writing for Horizon, New Statesman and other periodicals. His war-time diaries are included here.
