A selection of George Orwell's prescient, clear-eyed and
stimulating writing on the subjects of truth and lies. With an
introduction by Alan Johnson. 'Freedom is the freedom to say that
two plus two equals four. If that is granted, all else follows.'
This selection of George Orwell's writing, from both his novels and
non-fiction, gathers together his thoughts on the subject of truth.
It ranges from discussion of personal honesty and morality, to
freedom of speech and political propaganda. Orwell's unique clarity
of thought and illuminating scepticism provide the perfect defence
against our post-truth world of fake news and confusion. 'The
further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate
those that speak it.' Includes an introduction by Alan Johnson and
passages from Burmese Days, The Road to Wigan Pier, Coming Up for
Air, The Lion and the Unicorn, Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty-Four,
Orwell's letters, war-time diary, criticism and essays including
'Fascism and Democracy', 'Culture and Democracy', 'Looking Back on
the Spanish War', 'As I Please', 'Notes on Nationalism', 'The
Prevention of Literature', 'Politics and the English Language' and
'Why I Write'.
