Why I Write by George Orwell
informative
slow-paced
4.0
“Every line of serious work I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism, and for democratic socialism.”
Orwell’s ‘Why I Write’ I believe to be one of his best essays. In it he addresses his motivations for writing from an early age to the present self and looks at the basic principles of motivations to write. It establishes a clear idea of the duty of a writer, and that all writing is inherently political as the author is expressing a bias perspective on the social concern in question. It’s fantastically written, an easy read and provides brilliant insight into Orwell’s intentions to write against fascism.
