Reader's note

The essays in this book, literary, political or descriptive of experience, are typical of George Orwell and his role as the conscience of our 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 gives 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 Magazine '...there are no replacements for George Orwell, just as there are no replacements for a Bernard Shaw or a Mark Twain..' find out whether you agree with this assessment by reading this provocative collection.
