Overview
«Se enfrentó a las distintas ortodoxias y despotismos de su época con poco más que una destartalada máquina de escribir y una personalidad tenaz.» -Christopher Hitchens
Escritos entre 1937 y 1949, los textos aquí reunidos analizan y denuncian los abusos políticos que acabaron identificándose con el nombre de totalitarismo. George Orwell pasa revista a asuntos tan diversos como la Guerra Civil española, el imperialismo, la obra de Arthur Koestler, los nacionalismos o la figura de Gandhi, pero siempre pone el acento en el pensamiento crítico, a fin de evaluar los hechos sin aceptar simplificaciones partidistas ni generalizaciones fáciles. Pocos escritores nos animan con igual firmeza a mantenernos alerta y pensar por cuenta propia, oponiendo resistencia al mal siempre latente de la opresión.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“He stood up to different orthodoxies and despotisms of his time with little more than a beat-up typewriter and an unyielding personality.” —Christopher Hitchens
Written between 1937 and 1949, the collected works analyze and expose the kind of political abuse that was ultimately described as totalitarianism. George Orwell reviews matters as diverse as the Spanish Civil War, imperialism, Arthur Koestler’s work, nationalisms, and the figure of Gandhi, but always accentuating critical thinking in order to evaluate facts without accepting partisan simplifications or simple generalizations. Few writers encourage us so firmly to stay alert and think for ourselves, resisting the ever present evil of oppression.
