Description

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

No thinking person can or does genuinely keep out of politics, in an age like the present one

Unfailingly wise and often startlingly prophetic, George Orwell’s essays are masterpieces of plain English prose. This stirring new collection brings together his most cherished pieces with lesser-known gems, ranging over everything from tree planting to living with the atom bomb, sleeping rough to the perils of getting what you want in politics.
