This thought-provoking collection of essays by George Orwell explores the relationship between politics, personal contentment, and the ideals of socialism. Unfailingly wise and often startlingly prophetic, this stirring new collection brings together Orwell's most cherished pieces with lesser-known gems, ranging over everything from tree planting and sleeping rough to the perils of getting what you want in politics and living with the atom bomb. It's a masterful showcase of his plain English prose and his enduring relevance to contemporary life.
