In these timeless and witty essays George Orwell explores the English love of reading about a good murder in the papers (and laments the passing of the heyday of the 'perfect' murder involving class, sex and poisoning), as well as unfolding his trenchant views on everything from boys' weeklies to naughty seaside postcards.

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.
