... often remarkably judicious." That''s what Peter Davison, the editor of George Orwell''s Complete Works, said in 1998 about these authors, Orwell for Beginners, contained in this volumeNo twentieth-century writer remains more vividly etched in the public imagination than George Orwell, thanks to Animal Farm and the unforgettable Nineteen Eighty-Four- and thanks, as well, to the persisting power of the logic-defying authoritarianism Orwell warned us about. George Orwell remains relevant because Big Brothers remain as brazen and truthless as ever.This book brings Orwell to life as never before. New discoveries-including a human rights manifesto coauthored with Bertrand Russell and Arthur Koestler-help us better understand the worldview behind the words. In part two of this book, Planet Orwell, Orwell''s manifesto appears here for the first time, along with a wealth of fresh biographical and literary insights." Less
