An Age Like This, 1920-1940

Über den Autor
George Orwell is widely considered one of the greatest writers of the past century.

The occasionally radical political content in his essays, memoirs, and journalistic works brought him some censure during his life, but they now make up one of the most celebrated bodies of work in the English language.
