The definitive collection of George Orwell’s timeless political writing

This comprehensive collection brings together the best of George Orwell’s powerful political essays and journalism with his timeless satire on totalitarianism, Animal Farm. They show the vast range of his political interests, with articles expressing his views on subjects from corrupt political language to the oppressive British Empire; his masterly wartime Socialist polemic; ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’; a wry review of Mein Kampf; a defence of Nineteen Eight-Four; and extracts from his controversial list of ‘Crypto-communists’.
