It is one of the most brilliant satires on totalitarianism ever written. 'It is a volley against the authoritarian in every personality a polemic against every orthodoxy an anarchistic blast against every unquestioning conformist."Nineteen Eighty-four" is a great novel and a great tract because of the clarity of its call and it will endure because its message is a permanent one: erroneous thought is the stuff of freedom' - Ben Pimlott.</p> Penguin Classic hardcover

BIB-561548Hardcover. Publisher: Natur & Kultur Allmänlitt. Utg. 2015 Hardcover 341 p. ; 22 cm This book is brand new. Original title: Essays Translator: Handberg Peter Language: Svenska --- Information regarding the book: "Varje rad jag har skrivit sedan 1936 har skrivits mot totalitarism och för demokratisk socialism. Min startpunkt är alltid en upplevelse av orättvisa. Jag skriver därför att det finns någon lögn som jag vill avslöja." George Orwell skrev sina samhällskritiska essäer och artiklar under det bruna 30-talet och nattsvarta 40-talet. De präglades djupt av de utmaningar som dessa tider stod inför: nazism och kommunism världskrig och världssamfund kolonialism och internationalism jämlikhet och utstötthet. I detta generösa urval får vi möta Orwells politiska och etiska ställningstaganden som ledde fram till mästerverk som 1984 och Djurfarmen. Här myntar han begreppet "kallt krig" här analyserar han Hitlers Mein Kampf här drar han sig till minnes sin barndoms skola där han mobbades av elever och lärare tillika för att han inte var ett rikemansbarn utan en flitig stipendiat. Med en glasklar prosa och en kompromisslös uppriktighet nagelfar Orwell den värld som han tycker hamnat så snett och snart sagt varje rad skälver av indignation. Förord av Lena Andersson. Den brittiske journalisten George Orwell pseudonym för Eric Blair 19031950 har myntat odödliga uttryck som "storebror ser dig" och "kalla kriget". Han är främst känd för sina samhällskritiska romaner 1984 och Djurfarmen. Originalets titel: Essays Övers. Peter Handberg "Läs denne man - en fantastiskt vass samhällskritiker. Här förklarar han varför han blev socialist och skrev Djurfarmen och 1984." Yukiko Duke SVT Gomorron Sverige "Han är något så sällsynt som en rolig moralist. Ofta kusligt aktuell. Inte bara beroende på tidsandan utan därför att han har den konservatives pessimistiska syn på människan men socialistens tro på det goda." Ulrika Knutsson Expressen hardcover

1949618004New York: Masses & Mainstream Inc 1949. Softcover. Very Good. Volume 2 Number 8. Octavo. 96pp. Reproduces four woodcuts by Leoplodo Mendez and drawings by Hugo Gellert and Eugene Karlin. Wrappers with moderate general wear and a bit of sunning very good. Prints "Maggot-of-the-Month" a scathing 2½ page review of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four by editor Samuel Sillen. Sillen describes the book as "plodding" and "cynical rot"; Orwell as the "literary mouthpiece of imperialism"; and the book's ultimate message "People are no damn good." Even so incensed Sullen is sure we have not yet reached the nadir of this "nihilistic literature of the graveyard" and closes thus: ".There is hideous ingenuity in the perversions of a dying capitalism and it will keep probing for new depths of rottenness which the maggots will find 'brilliant and morally invigorating.'" Also prints African-American Marxist educational scholar Doxey Wilkerson's "Negro Culture: Heritage and Weapon" and Alexander Serebov's "Life with Stanislavsky" among much else.
