From the publisher
"What I have most wanted to do throughout the past ten years is to make political writing into an art."
In this essay, Orwell describes his personal journey to becoming a writer and offers some important motives for writing.
Moving from his experience of writing his first completed poems to trying his hand at short stories, to finding fame as a fully-fledged writer, Orwell discusses the importance of writing, his continuous technique, and sets out some important motives for becoming a writer yourself.
