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. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Orwell的文字非常討喜,簡單真實,又不乏對生活的深刻嘲諷
評分很嚴謹 而且一點都不枯燥 不過可能是時代限製眼界還是略狹窄

評分寫的語言很elegant,就是寫喝茶的那篇處處透露著英國人莫名的優越感,討論為什麼要加奶不加糖實在很扯
評分關於書的故事毋庸置疑都得五星,何況它還這麼有趣:) 有機會重看一遍~ 英式幽默good!
