Synopsis "Ensayos"

George Orwell es el mejor ensayista inglés del siglo XX y esta es la mejor y más amplia antología de su obra.

"Escribo porque existe alguna mentira que aspiro a denunciar, algún hecho sobre el cual quiero llamar la atención [...] pero no podría realizar el trabajo de escribir un libro, ni tampoco un artículo largo para una publicación periódica, si no fuera, además, una experiencia estética."

Así definía George Orwell, el ensayista inglés más importante del siglo XX, su pasión por la escritura. Esta amplia selección presenta por primera vez en español el abanico completo de sus intereses y pasiones, desde la literatura hasta la política, pasando por la taza de té perfecta o por qué los libros son más caros que los cigarrillos.

View Author's Page

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.

Lectura indispensable en esto tiempos. Volver a Orwell es reencontrarse con una persona honesta, valerosa y comprometida.

Que se puede decir que no se haya dicho de George Orwell. Un lujo leer cualquiera de sus libros. Seria bueno que todos ahonden más en aquellos que no sean solo 1984 o Rebelión en la Granja. Además de las citadas, recomiendo fervientemente otras lecturas del autor.
