This is amazing. I didn't know he wrote non-fiction. And I can tell there is little difference between this piece of essay and what we read from Emmanuel Goldstein in the book. Perhaps Emmanuel Goldstein is Orwell in 1984, or even Winston and everything else in the book was written "based and around" Orwell's non-fiction essays. Who knows? Thanks for sharing anyway.
- int_19h 3y agoThat one is from a letter, but yeah, it is basically a brain dump of the thoughts that would eventually crystallize into "1984" three years later. OTOH for "Animal Farm" he specifically wrote an essay[1] explaining why he wrote it, meant to be a preface to the book. Ironically, the preface was dropped from the book when it was originally published for the very same reasons discussed in the essay. And I feel that many of those reasons are still at play today.
