Beginning with a dilemma about whether he spends more money on reading or smoking, George Orwell's entertaining and uncompromising essays go on to explore everything from the perils of second-hand bookshops to the dubious profession of being a critic, from freedom of the press to what patriotism really means.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Orwell

George Orwell, pseudónimo do escritor Eric Arthur Blair, nasceu na cidade de Motihari, na então Índia britânica, a 25 de junho de 1903, tendo-se mudado para Inglaterra com a família, ainda durante a infância. Escritor e jornalista, Orwell é uma das mais influentes figuras da literatura do século xx. Defensor incondicional da liberdade humana e acérrimo opositor do totalitarismo, inscreve-se no panorama literário com as obras Dias Birmaneses (1934) e Homenagem à Catalunha (1938). Mas será, sem dúvida, com Quinta dos Animais (1945) e Mil Novecentos e Oitenta e Quatro (1949), duas narrativas com uma atualidade assombrosa, que o autor alcança o reconhecimento internacional. Morreu de tuberculose, em Londres, a 21 de janeiro de 1950.
