{"product_id":"orwell-on-truth-9780358065050","title":"Orwell on Truth","description":"Over the course of his career, George Orwell wrote about many things, but no matter what he wrote the goal was to get at the fundamental truths of the world. He had no place for dissemblers, liars, conmen, or frauds, and he made his feelings well-known. In \u003cem\u003eOrwell on Truth\u003c\/em\u003e, excerpts from across Orwell's career show how his writing and worldview developed over the decades, profoundly shaped by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, and further by World War II and the rise of totalitarian states. In a world that seems increasingly like one of Orwell's dystopias, a willingness to speak truth to power is more important than ever. With \u003cem\u003eOrwell on Truth\u003c\/em\u003e, readers get a collection of both powerful quotes and the context for them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHochschild, Adam:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eADAM HOCHSCHILD is the author of ten books. \u003ci\u003eKing Leopold's Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, as was \u003ci\u003eTo End All Wars.\u003c\/i\u003e His \u003ci\u003eBury the Chains\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the National Book Award and won the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eBook Prize and PEN USA Literary Award.
