Книга: George Orwell «Politics and the English Language»
|
Производитель: "Penguin Books Ltd." `Politics and the English Language` is a short essay from George Orwell that explores the use of language in politics and how it may be misused to hide or detract from unsavoury facts. In the age of sound-bites and the glut of internet commentary the information here has never been more pertinent. The writing is as clear and lucid as we have come to expect from Orwell and the short form of this pamphlet means you can read it one sitting. This also has a review of Mein Kampf included, I suspect to bulk out the offering a little. There are more substantial reviews here that do this book full justice, but I can only say if you have any interest in politics (or the English language for that matter) at all then this is well worth a look at some point.
