1984 (George Orwell) Diálogos entre el derecho y la literatura: Los totalitarismos I .

Autor: Juan Alfredo Obarrio Moreno

Número de Páginas: 294

No descubro nada nuevo si afirmo que Orwell fue uno de esos hombres que supieron detectar una inflexión profunda en la concepción democrática de su época. ¿Qué sucedió en ese período de la Historia? Sin duda, un sombrío naufragio: el de la razón y el de la libertad. Y fue su desafecto, su rechazo a los sucesos que contemplaba lo que le hizo, en el sentido nietzscheano del término, reafirmar su contemporaneidad, adhiriéndose a su tiempo como un galápago a su concha, pero no para silenciarlo, y menos aún para reverenciarlo, sino para poner al descubierto todos y cada uno de los entresijos más sombríos y perversos de su época. Sobre las cenizas de este sombrío horizonte se instala la escenografía de sus dos obras de mayor peso y estatura literaria: Rebelión en la Granja y 1984, relatos que son imágenes vivas de un tiempo herido que ya forma parte de la Historia: la pasada, la presente y la futura; un paisaje desolado que no cabe olvidarlo, y menos aún desconsiderarlo, si lo hiciéramos estaríamos realizando una lectura indecorosa de la Historia. Esperemos no caer en tamaña ignominia, porque sabemos bien que Ítaca es el camino, y que lecturas como las que...

Biblioteca esencial George Orwell (1984 | Rebelión en la granja | Homenaje a Cataluña | Opresión y resistencia)

Autor: George Orwell

Número de Páginas: 1291

Un fabuloso estuche con los escritos esenciales de George Orwell: 1984, Rebelión en la granja, Homenaje a Cataluña y los ensayos contra el totalitarismo reunidos en Opresión y resistencia. George Orwell cultivó con igual maestría la novela, el reportaje y el periodismo político. Junto con sus dos obras maestras de narrativa, 1984 y Rebelión en la granja, el presente estuche contiene los textos ensayísticos en los que el autor fue forjando su lúcida visión del mundo. En Homenaje a Cataluña, Orwell identificó las derivas represivas que aquejaban a España. Y en los escritos reunidos en Opresión y resistencia dio curso a los primeros pálpitos de sus ideas famosas en contra del totalitarismo. Esta compilación esencial se completa con prólogos y epílogos de firmas como Christopher Hitchens, Thomas Pynchon y Miquel Berga, y todos los textos se publican en ediciones definitivas con el aval de The Orwell Estate. La crítica ha dicho: «En una época de lealtades partidistas extremas y a la vez cínicamente fluctuantes, [Orwell] se las arregló para ser un enemigo coherente e inflexible tanto de Hitler como de Stalin».

Las rosas de Orwell

Las rosas de Orwell

Autor: Rebecca Solnit

Número de Páginas: 325

LAS ROSAS DE ORWELL UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DE 2022 SEGÚN ELLE «Me encantó este libro. [...] Solnit nos presenta a Orwell como a un padre alegre, esperanzado, amante de la vida, que aprecia los sapos y a los bebés, pero, sobre todo, como a un jardinero tenaz y enérgico. [...] Unjuego emocionante a través de la vida y la época de Orwell y a través de la vida y la época de las rosas». Margaret Atwood «En la primavera de 1936, un escritor plantó rosales». Así comienza el nuevo libro de Rebecca Solnit, una reflexión sobre un jardinero apasionado que fue, además, la voz más importante del siglo XX frente a la mentira y el totalitarismo: George Orwell. A partir de su azaroso encuentro con aquellas rosas que Orwell cultivó hace más de ochenta años y que siguen hoy rebosantes de vida en su jardín, la autora indaga en ese aspecto más desconocido de la vida del intelectual para descubrir en qué medida su devoción por las flores puede iluminar sus compromisos éticos y estéticos como escritor y como luchador antifascista. Con su característica capacidad para establecer conexiones inesperadas, Solnit entremezcla la vida y la obra literaria del autor de 1984, y su...

Sumisión en la granja

Autor: Miquel Porta Perales

"Su discurso está plagado de frases cortantes, puyas, agitación" (Víctor Amela, 'La Vanguardia') "Cuando el pensamiento crítico zozobra, conviene recobrar fuerzas con un ensayo como el de Miquel Porta Perales" (Sergi Dòria, 'ABC') El mejor homenaje a George Orwell –un referente del pensamiento antitotalitario del siglo XX— es revisar su 'Rebelión en la granja'. Miquel Porta Perales se atreve. Hoy, en el marco mental del populismo rampante y la izquierda indignada dominantes, ¿por qué no pasar de la rebelión a la sumisión? 'Sumisión en la granja' (ED Libros –el sello editorial de Economía Digital—, 2019) habla de aceptar la realidad, de aprender las lecciones de la historia, de apostar por el sentido del límite y del buen juicio liberal, que hoy es lo más parecido a la rebelión antitotalitaria orwelliana. La sumisión bien entendida (¿Orwell frente a Orwell?) nos hará libres. Paradójico, sí. Pero, como dijera nuestro autor, "la libertad significa el derecho a decirle a la gente lo que no quiere oír". Por ello, algunos personajes de 'Rebelión en la granja' (Napoleón, Snowball, Squealer, Boxer, Clover, Mollie o Benjamín) vuelven a desfilar ante los...

George Orwell was perhaps the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture and one of our most significant political thinkers. Best known for his chilling dystopia Nineteen-Eighty Four and the disturbing parable of Animal Farm, Orwell also turned his attention to subjects as wide-ranging as life amidst abject poverty, the strictures of a religious upbringing, the perils of British imperialism, the loss of innocence and the disillusionment of middle age. He centered his works on the characters involved and his pen captured the hopes and struggles of ordinary people as they attempted to live their lives.

George Orwell: The Complete Autobiographical Works

Autor: George Orwell

Número de Páginas: 869

Down and Out in Paris and London is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. The first part is an account of living in near-destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life on the road in and around London from the tramp's perspective, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins. The Road to Wigan Pier is a book by the British writer George Orwell, first published in 1937. The first half of this work documents his sociological investigations of the bleak living conditions among the working class in Lancashire and Yorkshire in the industrial north of England before World War II. The second half is a long essay on his middle-class upbringing, and the development of his political conscience, questioning British attitudes towards socialism. Orwell states plainly that he himself is in favour of socialism, but feels it necessary to point out reasons why many people who would benefit from socialism and should logically support it, are in practice likely to be strong opponents. Homage to Catalonia is George...

George Orwell

Autor: Gordon Bowker

Número de Páginas: 512

'Adds enormously to our understanding of the man' Evening Standard George Orwell was one of the greatest writers England produced in the last century. He left an enduring mark on our language and culture, with concepts such as 'Big Brother' and 'Room 101.' His reputation rests not only on his political shrewdness and his sharp satires (Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four) but also on his marvellously clear style and superb essays, which rank with the best ever written. Gordon Bowker's new biography includes fascinating new material which brings Orwell'slife into unfamiliar focus. He writes revealingly about Orwell's family background; the lasting influence of Eton on his work and character; his superstitious streak and youthful flirtation with black magic; and his chaotic and reckless sex life, which included at least one homoerotic relationship. It highlights the strange circumstances of his first marriage and provides remarkable new evidence of his experiences in Spain and their nightmarish consequences. It also offers a fresh look at his peculiar deathbed marriage to a woman fifteen years his junior. All this has enabled Bowker to give Orwell's life a brilliantly fresh and...

The Collected Essays, Journalism, and Letters of George Orwell: An age like this, 1920-1940

Autor: George Orwell

Número de Páginas: 610

George Orwell is a major figure in twentieth-century literature. During his lifetime he published ten books and two collections of essays. Orwell seldom "reported" and he never took a line other than the one himself felt at the moment of writing. His essays are certainly some of the greatest in that most difficult genre. His widow and her co-editor have collected everything Orwell would have considered an essay, all the journalism that was not purely ephemeral, and those letters which contribute to our understanding of his life and writing. The material is arranged chronologically, and gives a continuous picture of Orwell's life as well as his work. -- From publisher's description.

George Orwell

Autor: Robert Colls

Número de Páginas: 352

An intellectual who did not like intellectuals, a socialist who did not trust the state, a writer of the left who found it easier to forgive writers of the right, a liberal who was against free markets, a Protestant who believed in religion but not in God, a fierce opponent of nationalism who defined Englishness for a generation. Aside from being one of the greatest political essayists in the English language and author of two of the most famous books in twentieth century literature, George Orwell was a man of many fascinating contradictions, someone who liked to go against the grain because he believed that was where the truth usually lay. George Orwell. English Rebel takes us on a journey through the many twists and turns of Orwell's life and thought, from the precocious public school satirist at Eton and the imperial policeman in Burma, through his early years as a rather dour documentary writer, down and out on the streets of Paris and London and on the road to Wigan pier, o his formative experiences as a volunteer soldier in the Spanish Civil War. Above all, the book skilfully traces Orwell's gradual reconciliation with his country, a journey which began down a coal mine in...

A major literary event—the long-awaited publication of George Orwell's diaries, chronicling the events that inspired his greatest works. This groundbreaking volume, never before published in the United States, at last introduces the interior life of George Orwell, the writer who defined twentieth-century political thought. Written as individual books throughout his career, the eleven surviving diaries collected here record Orwell’s youthful travels among miners and itinerant laborers, the fearsome rise of totalitarianism, the horrific drama of World War II, and the feverish composition of his great masterpieces Animal Farm and 1984 (which have now sold more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author). Personal entries cover the tragic death of his first wife and Orwell’s own decline as he battled tuberculosis. Exhibiting great brilliance of prose and composition, these treasured dispatches, edited by the world’s leading Orwell scholar, exhibit “the seeds of famous passages to come” (New Statesman) and amount to a volume as penetrating as the autobiography he would never write.

'The greatest writer of the twentieth century' Observer George Orwell's best-known novels, Animal Farm, describing a revolution that goes horribly wrong, and Nineteen Eighty-Four, portraying a world where human freedom has been crushed, are two of the most famous, well-quoted and influential political satires ever written. The other novels in this volume also tell stories of people at odds with repressive institutions: the corrupt imperialism of Burmese Days, disaffection with materialistic society in Keep the Aspidistra Flying, the perils of modern suburban living in Coming Up for Air and surviving on the streets in A Clergyman's Daughter. All the novels brought together here display Orwell's humour, his understanding of human nature and his great compassion.

REBELIÓN EN LA GRANJA

REBELIÓN EN LA GRANJA

Autor: George Orwell

Número de Páginas: 146

George Orwell, seudónimo de Eric Blair (1903 - 1950) fue un escritor británico, autor de numerosas obras de éxito, entre ellas: "Revolución en la Granja" y "1984". En Rebelión en la Granja, George Orwell parodió el modelo del socialismo soviético. Los personajes son animales de una granja que se rebelan contra sus dueños, los hombres, aunque luego crean una estructura social peor que la de sus antiguos dueños; Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky y otras figuras de la escena política son representados por dichos animales. Con un lenguaje fácil y accesible, lleno de humor, el libro fue un éxito de ventas en la época de su publicación y continúa siendo una obra extremadamente vigente dado que trata de cuestiones que no pierden validez, como el juego del poder, la censura y la manipulación de las masas. Los ensayos de Orwell sobre política social poseen una franqueza y clarividencia sin precedentes en la literatura y Rebelión en la Granja é considerado un de los libros mas importantes del siglo XX.
