Download or read book Politics and the English Language written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 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 Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, ‘is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind’. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwell’s Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Download or read book The Margaret Thatcher Book of Quotations written by Iain Dale and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Thatcher enthrals whenever she speaks. Her political career has spanned five decades and her influence on world politics is undeniable. From followers she inspires devotion; from detractors she induces unprecedented venom - but they listen all the same. Margaret Thatcher is the most quoted British political leader since Winston Churchill and in this unique collection Iain Dale and Grant Tucker have picked out her most memorable remarks. Never far from emitting a scathing rebuke she possesses a facility for the spoken word rivalled by few others. Some quotes are funny, many are inspirational, most are thoughtful - but they are all unforgettable. Alongside Margaret Thatcher's own words, the book contains many quotes from her political allies and opponents, as well as from foreign leaders who were often on the end of a good handbagging. On her resignation some said we would never see her like again. So far they have been proved right. With a talent for the perfect response, Maggie's whiplash tongue has ensured that her magnetism endures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you bored of Brown, confused by Cameron, or maddened by Menzies Campbell? Did Blair make you despair? Would you like to give Bush the push? Are you simply infuriated by Berlusconi's baloney? If you're worried that you're the only one who just can't believe the bull our leaders seem to think they can feed us, this is the book for you. It works like this: the authors have scoured the murky world of politics to find the juiciest, funniest and most stupid quotes from politicians across the world in order that we, the good public, may delight in seeing the political soundbite bite the speaker right back where it hurts. Our leaders often make us laugh, but mostly out of disbelief at their antics, and this little tome won't disappoint in providing plenty of chuckles as we witness our esteemed statesmen, past and present, use nothing but their own words to prove how full of shit they really are. But, in the spirit of fair-play, an (unsurprisingly smaller) section features the rare moments where genuine humour has somehow found its way out of their mouths. Oh, and there's a chapter on stupid things the Royals have said for themselves over the years. So as the world goes increasingly mad, and as every politician proves to be badder than the last bad apple, leaf through Is It Just Me Or Are All Politicians Shit? and just try to have a laugh about it all.
