Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to front inside edge; light wear to bottom back inside corner; otherwise bright with very minimal wear; appears unread; The essays in this book, literary, political, or descriptive of experience, are typical of George Orwell and his role as the conscience of an age. From Down the Mine, a description of Orwell's visit to a coal mine which brings home to us in his vivid prose the weight and horror of a miner's work, to Politics and the English Language, where his own crisp exact use of English as much as his actual words give point to his plea for a meaningful use of language, and Boys' Weeklies, a carefully presented and thorough piece of research, they bear out the remarks of Time, .there are no replacements for a George Orwell, just as there are no replacements for a Bernard Shaw or a Mark Twain .In his literary criticism and political essays he pricked, provoked, and badgered lazy minds, delighted those who enjoyed watching an original intelligence at work.
