The Ruling Class [in] Horizon A Review of Literature and Art No 12 December 1940

George Orwell

Verlag: Horizon, 1940

Beschreibung

This was the first appearance in print of Orwell's short essay (six pages), 'The Ruling Class' a social group that he regards as antiquated and decaying but morally fairly sound (for example, willing to die for their country). Horizon, edited by Cyril Connolly, was the premier literary review of the 1940s and published original work by many great figures of the time including, in addition to Orwell, WH Auden, Dylan Thomas, EM Forster and Evelyn Waugh. This copy of the magazine, now over eighty years old, is showing its age: although the paper wrapper is intact it is discoloured around the edges of the front and back panels and along the spine and there is a previous resale price written in pencil on the top right hand corner of the front panel. However, internally the pages are spotless. No jacket, as issued. See five photos of this item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 125
