书籍简介

如今，乔治·奥威尔也许因其标志性的小说《一九八四》和《动物农场》而知名，但在他自己的时代，他出色的非虚构作品才是吸引人的。他的文章心地善良、聪明，常常很有趣，偶尔也很愤慨，总是很有见地：他的文章是有史以来优秀的作品之一。

本选集包括《猎象记》、《这样，这样的快乐》和《关于普通蛤蟆的一些想法》。

Today, George Orwell is perhaps most famous for his iconic novels - Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm - but in his own time it was his remarkable nonfiction writing which drew most attention. Kind-hearted, intelligent, often funny, occasionally indignant, always insightful: his essays are some of the best ever written. Among others, this selection includes 'Shooting an Elephant', 'Such, Such Were the Joys' and 'Some Thoughts on the Common Toad'.

An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature.
