A Collection of Essays

George Orwell's collected nonfiction, written in the clear-eyed and uncompromising style that earned him a critical following, is one of the most thought-provoking and vivid essayists of the twentieth century. In this selection of essays, he ranges from reflections on his boyhood schooling and the profession of writing to his views on the Spanish Civil War and British imperialism. The pieces collected here include essays that are relatively unfamiliar and more celebrated, making it an ideal compilation for both new and dedicated readers of Orwell's work.
