Orwell was rejected for service during the Second World War and became literary editor of the left-wing weekly, Tribune. Included in this volume are reviews of works by authors as varied as C. S. Lewis and Arthur Koestler, the newspaper column, “As I Please,” the brilliant essay, “A Nice Cup of Tea,” letters to T. S. Eliot, among others, while trying to convince publishers to take a chance on a book called Animal Farm.

“These four volumes might be the perfect tonic for what ails our society.”
—Franklin Freeman, America Magazine“While [Orwell] is best known for Animal Farm and 1984, most of his writing derived from his tireless work as a journalist, and thanks to David Godine’s welcome reissue of The Collected Essays, Journalism, and Letters of George Orwell, which has been out of print for a decade, readers can find it all in one place. All of the author’s insightful, hard-hitting essays and journalistic pieces are here…the most complete picture of the writer and man possible.”—Eric Liebetrau, Kirkus ReviewsGodine, Publisher is distributed to the trade by Two Rivers Distribution, an Ingram brand.
