**A clear-eyed, uncompromising collection of essays from the conscience of his generation and the author of 1984 (V. S. Pritchett).** 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. In this selection of essays, he ranges from reflections on his boyhood schooling and the profession of writing to his views on the Spanish Civil War and British imperialism. The works collected here include “Such, Such Were the Joys,” “Shooting an Elephant,” “Politics and the English Language,” and “Why I Write.” Perfect for those new to Orwell’s work and a wonderful compilation for the experienced Orwell reader, *A Collection of Essays* is an invaluable anthology.

Amateur_Intellectual (verified owner) –
I’m usually one to write in depth and detailed reviews about books, but I stopped by here to say that if you’re considering this particular publication desist at once, fret no more. There are two great collections of Orwell’s narrative and critical essays entitled Facing Unpleasant Facts and All Art is Propaganda, respectively. On their own they each contain more reading content than this terse version, and together they present an excellent fuller picture of his works. The only (not quite redeeming) thing about this version is the picture of Orwell sitting down at work; I was almost ready to buy it just for that feature, but I decided against it and I haven’t (for the most part) regretted it.
