Description

George Orwell’s Classic Essay and more!”In Moulmein, in Lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people—the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me. I was sub-divisional police officer of the town, and in an aimless, petty kind of way anti-European feeling was very bitter. No one had the guts to raise a riot, but if a European woman went through the bazaars alone somebody would probably spit betel juice over her dress. “—George OrwellShooting an Elephant and other essays is a collection of essays from George Orwell including the vivid Shooting an Elephant, about his time as a police officer in Burma. Other essays include My Country Right or Left, How the Poor Die, and Such, Such were the Joys among others.

⭐Good condition

⭐grandsons textbook for college

⭐For my student at school.

⭐Brilliant. A collection of his essays.Shooting an elephant stays with me, particularly his observations of a man being led to his execution. This is what’s great about Orwell, very sensitive observations, eloquently put into language without over the top language.

⭐George Orwell gained 1st hand experience of his subjects, allowing him to express a huge understanding and use an amazing and unique writing style to communicate real emotion from an often distant but very understanding perspective. His essays are incredibly honest and probably even more enjoyable than his novels.

⭐If you want to know how to think, reason and write, read Orwell. His essays are models of clarity, regardless of whether you agree with him or not. “Politics and the English language” – for example – should be read by everyone.

⭐I did enjoy. Some stories/reflections were more interesting than others. Loved the language and eloquence used more than anything else and as a stay at home mother, short stories and good writing and rich language is just the thing needed when the only word you can think of for disgusting is ‘yucky’.

⭐Amazing collection for any Orwell fan. Excellent value for money.
