Description: Politics and the English Language by George Orwell Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In Politics and the English Language, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. This essay is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play in political language. Publisher 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 Orwells essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership.In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwells Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwells Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. Author Biography Born Eric Arthur Blair (1903–1950), George Orwell was an English journalist, writer and critic. Orwell devoted his life to working against extremism, and in his description of how authoritarian regimes pervade our thoughts, he gave us a new vocabulary to understand totalitarianism. He is best remembered today for his innumerable essays, his novels – in particular Animal Farm and 1984 – and his longer non-fiction, especially The Road to Wigan Pier and Down Out in Paris and London.
