A wide-ranging selection of George Orwell's essays, written in the clear-eyed, passionate, and uncompromising style that has earned him a reputation as one of Britain's greatest writers. One of the most thought-provoking and vivid essayists of the twentieth century, George Orwell fought the injustices of his time with singular vigor through pen and paper.

The pieces collected here include the relatively unfamiliar and the more celebrated, making it an ideal compilation for both new and dedicated readers of Orwell's work. The essays included here are: - A Hanging - Anti-Semitism in Britain - A Nice Cup of Tea - Books vs. Cigarettes - Bookshop Memories - British Cooking - Can Socialists be Happy? - Confessions of a Book Reviewer - How the Poor Die - In Defence of English Cooking - Looking Back on the Spanish War - My Country, Right or Left - Notes on Nationalism - Politics and the English Language - Reflections on Gandhi - Shooting an Elephant - The Decline of the English Murder - The Lion and the Unicorn - The Moon Under Water - Why I Write - You and the Atomic Bomb
