Sinopse
Bookshop memories - Confessions of a book reviewer - The prevention of literature - My country right or left - How the poor die - Such, such were the joys. Summary: Beginning with a dilemma about whether he spends more money on reading or smoking, George Orwell's entertaining and uncompromising essays go on to explore everything from the perils of second-hand bookshops to the dubious profession of being a critic, from freedom of the press to what patriotism really means.
