Synopsis "Ensayos (in Spanish)"

«Escribo porque hay alguna mentira que quiero desvelar, algún hecho sobre el que quiero llamar la atención (...). Pero no podría escribir un libro, ni tan siquiera un artículo 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 política, pasando por la taza de té perfecta o por qué los libros son más caros de los cigarrillos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A generous and varied selection–the only hardcover edition available–of 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 Orwell’s famous discussion of pacifism, “My Country Right or Left”; his scathingly complicated views on the dirty work of imperialism in “Shooting an Elephant”; and his very firm opinion on how to make “A Nice Cup of Tea.” In his essays, Orwell elevated political writing to the level of art, and his motivating ideas–his desire for social justice, his belief in universal freedom and equality, and his concern for truth in language–are as enduringly relevant now, a hundred years after his birth, as ever. --Este texto se refiere a la edición Paperback.

View Author's Page
Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.

Muy buena edición y encuadernación. El libro viene cocido y en cuadernillos, en cualquier página que se lo abra el libro se entrega sin oponer ninguna resistencia. Son unas 900 páginas de puro placer intelectual, de la mano de un autor claro, sensible, sencillo, profundo y directo.
