ill., br. In Birmania gira una battuta popolare, secondo cui Orwell non scrisse soltanto un romanzo sul Paese, "Giorni birmani", ma un'intera trilogia, completata da "La fattoria degli animali" e "1984". La connessione della Birmania (oggi chiamata Myanmar) con George Orwell non è metaforica, ma profonda e reale. In un intrepido diario di viaggio dal taglio politico e biografico, Emma Larkin guida il lettore alla scoperta dei luoghi dove Orwell ha vissuto e lavorato come agente della polizia imperiale britannica, vivendo esperienze che condizionarono profondamente la sua visione del mondo. Alla scomparsa di Orwell, il romanzo in stesura trovato sulla sua scrivania era ambientato in Birmania. Attraversando Mandalay e Yangon, le isolate aree meridionali del Delta dell'Irrawaddy e le montagne del nord dove gli inglesi andavano in villeggiatura per sfuggire al caldo delle pianure, l'autrice ritrae con immagini vivide un Paese appassionante e struggente. Prima colonizzata e in seguito governata da una giunta militare isolazionista e brutale, la nazione ha visto la propria storia e identità cancellate a più riprese da metodi di governo orwelliani, che hanno soppresso libertà d'espressione e pensiero. Ispirata dalla chiarezza morale e dal rifiuto dell'ingiustizia di Orwell, l'autrice incontra persone che hanno trovato un modo di resistere agli effetti annientatoti di uno dei più crudeli Stati di polizia, restituendo loro dignità.

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
421724Random House. Paperback. Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Volume 18 of The Complete Works of George OrwellJournalism took a heavy toll on Orwell in the first months of 1946. Despite this unremitting pressure he produced a major sequence of articles on 'The Intellectual Revolt'. He wrote one of his very goodst short essays 'Some Thoughts on the Common Toad'. He reviewed Zamyatin's We wrote two radio plays for the BBC The Voyage of the Beagle and a version of 'Red Riding Hood' for Children's Hour and a pamphlet for the British Council British Cookery; these three are printed here for the first time. The complex history of 'How the Poor Die' is unravelled as is the problem posed by his passports giving his date of birth incorrectly something that would prove significant in the writing of Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell renewed contact with Yvonne Davet; he corresponded with Ihor Szewczenko; he tried to get Victor Serge's memoirs published in English and with Arthur Koestler to expose Soviet responsibility for the massacre of the Poles by arranging for a translation of Joseph Czapski's Souvenirs de Starobielsk to be published. Despite all this Orwell did get away to Jura with his son Richard. He was able to relax and even fish as his Domestic Diary published for the first time shows; and he wrote fifty pages of Nineteen Eighty-Four. This volume includes Orwell's telling letter to Dwight Macdonald on the necessity for people to rid themselves of leaders of a violent revolution before they became entrenched 5 December 1946. This was what the animals of Animal Farm had failed to do. Random House paperback
