Produktbeschreibung

Beginning with a dilemma about whether he spends more money on reading or smoking, George Orwell's entertaining and uncompromising essays go on to explore everything from the perils of second-hand bookshops to the dubious profession of being a critic, from freedom of the press to what patriotism really means.

When I bought the book I originally wanted to write this review for the Black History Month... As you can see I couldn't make it: the book requires special attention from the reader, as it tackles a complex topics such as racism, colonialism and psychologist whilst imbuing the whole with references to literature and philosophy - everything written in exquisite academic language. It might not be everyone's taste, but if you are interested in such topics, you'll be astonished by this profound, foretelling piece of work.

Intellectually stimulating, a must lecture.
Das neue Buch von Rüdiger Safranski beschreibt die Entwicklung des Individualismus. Er beginnt in seinem Buch "Einzeln sein" mit der Renaissance und führt uns über Luther, Montaigne, Diderot, Stendhal, Kierkegaard, Stirner und Thoreau bis zu George, Huch, Arendt und Sartre und endet mit Ernst Jüngers "Waldgang" von 1951. Die Gegenwart spart er leider aus. Trotzdem ist es ein gut lesbares Buch mit vielen neuen und klugen Gedanken zu einem Thema, das die Menschheit schon immer beschäftigt hat - die Einsamkeit.

Autor/in

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
