xviii, 197 pages ; 19 cm "Over the course of his career, George Orwell wrote about many things, but no matter what he wrote the goal was to get at the fundamental truths of the world. He had no place for dissemblers, liars, conmen, or frauds, and he made his feelings well-known. In Orwell on Truth, excerpts from across Orwell's career show how his writing and worldview developed over the decades, profoundly shaped by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, and further by World War II and the rise of totalitarian states. In a world that seems increasingly like one of Orwell's dystopias, a willingness to speak truth to power is more important than ever. With Orwell on Truth, readers get a collection of both powerful quotes and the context for them."-- George Orwell ; [Author of introduction Hochschild, Adam] Orwell, George 1903-1950 Political and social views Orwell, George 1903-1950 Pensamiento político y social Truthfulness and falsehood Political aspects Verdad y mentira Aspectos políticos Ensayos ingleses Literatura inglesa PR 6029 O79o 2018 828/.91209 9781328507860 (hardcover) 1328507866 (hardcover) 9781328508713 (ebook) 2017057698 DLC 171201 20230411090906.0 20160449 eng
