Inside the Whale : On Writers and Writing
£12.00
ORWELL, GEORGE
Product Details
ISBN: 9781782276753
Author: ORWELL, GEORGE
Pages: 208
Unfailingly elegant and endlessly relevant, the four essays in this collection treat literature as a vital record of:
- Our political hypocrisies
- Our social failings
- The ennobling limits of our ideological aspirations
Delving into the literary canon, George Orwell encounters dusty classics and lesser-known works of literature on his own exhilarating terms. The novels of Henry Miller lead him inside the belly of Jonah's whale, an imagined refuge in a time of total war.
Highlights of the Essays:
- Charles Dickens: A trenchant investigation unfolds into a poignant portrait of nineteenth-century liberalism.
- Shakespeare and Tolstoy: A minor pamphlet on Shakespeare by Tolstoy provokes a stirring evocation of humanism and the excessive vitality of life.
A series of singularly thrilling reading experiences, these essays celebrate Orwell's engagement with the world of writers and literature.
