She has been the recipient of the Other Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award. The English Revolution - The argument is made for an English democratic socialism, sharply distinct from the totalitarian communism of Stalin. Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. One thing which is worth mentioning is that he hates Communists and Marxists in general only slightly less than he hates fascists, partly because they’ve tainted socialism in the eyes of a great many otherwise well-meaning people.

Bazı tartışmalı noktaları yok değil, tüm dünyanın kaos içerisinde olduğu ve de geleceğin pek belirsiz olduğu bir tarih döneminde yazıldığı unutulmamalı.Writing through the Blitz must have been quite challenging, but it didn't put off Orwell from putting together this interesting three-part essay which carries with it a clarity unlike the chaos that was raining down outside. Author and illustrator Shirley Hughes OBE was the first ever Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award winner.

The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius - Goodreads The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius -

tend to be rather clueless about change, and with the passing of time they don’t know what’s going on (and this has never become clearer than today, when so many MPs are clueless about how the Internet works, and the role it plays in people’s lives). I particularly like the descriptive language Shirley Hughes uses in this story; 'barley - sugar shapes', 'wrapped in haze' and the 'whole night seemed to be breathing, purring, growling'. He does have a something of a tendency to rely on gambits such as "anyone with eyes can see" that a certain argument is irrefutable, without doing the legwork necessary to actually make the case.Orwell tends to talk down the English intellectual culture, and continues this in the second and third parts with his disdain for the ‘intelligensia’, the class of which he was originally a member. I can understand Orwell’s concerns here, and it almost makes me glad that the hardships of the war forced things to turn around. In 64 short pages, the story managed to bring me to tears - something most current fiction is unable to do.
