George Orwell: A Life in Letters

Производитель: "Penguin Classics"

Серия: "Modern Classics"

Personal as well as political, Orwell`s letters offer a fascinating window into the mind of a phenomenal man. We are privy to snatched glimpses of his family life: his son Richard`s developing teeth, the death of his wife Eileen, and his own illness. Candid portraits of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, his opinions on bayonets, and on the chaining of German prisoners display his magnificent talent as a political writer, and letters to friends and his publisher provide a unique insight into the development and publication of some of the most important novels in the English language. `A Life in Letters` features previously unpublished material, including letters which shed new light on a love that would haunt him for his whole life, as well as revealing the inspiration for some of his most famous characters. Presented for the first time in a dedicated volume, this selection of Orwell`s letters is an indispensable companion to his diaries. ISBN:978-0-141-19263-5

George Orwell

Animal
Todos los animales son iguales, pero algunos animales son más iguales que otros.
Bondad
Por lo general, los seres humanos quieren ser buenos, pero no demasiado buenos, y no todo el tiempo.
Libertad
Si la libertad significa algo, es el derecho de decir a los demás lo que no quieren oír.
Tiempo
Quien controla el pasado controla el futuro. Quien controla el presente controla el pasado.
