Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In "Politics and the English Language", Orwell puts the case for political writers to use plain English and illustrates his point in essays such as "England your England" and "Inside the Whale", while essays on language and literature consider "Gulliver's Travels", Tolstoy and "King Lear".

Biografía del autor:

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
