Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

On another level the story of ELLA MACKAY begins when she is six in remote 1953 Scotland. EWAN CAMERON inspirational sole teacher of 35 pupils instils a sense of justice and an understanding of human diversity. Ella goes to teach in 1968 Kenya, leaving her family traumatised. She lands in a kaleidoscopic society of multinational idealistic colleagues, earnest African schoolchildren, neo colonials, frightened Asians, religious zealots, corrupt politicians and Pan African Socialists. Ella gets tangled up, via JOHN FRANCIS, nephew of the assassinated Pio Gama Pinto, in a dangerous plan to prevent the assassination of TOM MBOYA popular possible successor to the President. Ella helps to save Mboya's life then later meets him at the home of GLORIA HAGBERG. A huge secret is uncovered. MIKE KILPATRICK tempts Ella to consider life on a farm in post colonial Kenya. His sister NAN, maimed during Mau Mau, pulls at Ella's heartstrings. Both Mike and John propose to Ella but she returns to Scotland. The story moves to 2006/7 with the reflections of an older Ella on how migration has and could contribute to cultural fusion. Meantime Gloria is watching the USA Presidential campaign. If Obama wins it would be more than a triumph for fusion. It would be justice.
