Description

George Orwell set out 'to make political writing into an art', and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism.

While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell's essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. On Reading, the seventh in the Orwell's Essays series, collects together Orwell's short essays on books – 'Bookshop Memories', 'Good Bad Books', 'Nonsense Poetry', 'Books vs.

Cigarettes' and 'Confessions of a Book Reviewer' – giving a rounded view of the great writer's opinions on the literature of his day, and the vessels in which it was sold.
