The articles collected in George Orwell's Essays illuminate the life and work of one of the most individual writers of this century - a man who elevated political writing to an art. This outstanding collection brings together Orwell's longer, major essays and a fine selection of shorter pieces that includes 'My Country Right or Left', 'Decline of the English Murder', 'Shooting an Elephant' and 'A Hanging'. With great originality and wit Orwell unfolds his views on subjects ranging from a revaluation of Charles Dickens to the nature of Socialism, from a comic yet profound discussion of naughty seaside postcards to a spirited defence of English cooking. Displaying an almost unrivalled mastery of English plain prose, Orwell's essays created a unique literary manner from the process of thinking aloud and continue to challenge, move and entertain. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Bernard Crick.

Orwell is solid gold
Solid gold essays by the master of all essayists. 'Looking Back on the Spanish War,' 'Shooting an Elephant,' 'Homage to Catalonia,' 'Inside the Whale,' dozens more lesser-known but every bit as good. There's nothing here to dislike. Nobody can fault this collection except to say "I wish Orwell had lived to write for another 48 years."
This Everyman's edition is a sweet, compact gizmo that fits the palm of my right hand perfectly. It opens flat for easy reading. I love it. If you don't have one, get one. If you like great writing, you'll love it too.
