claimed by all sides of the culture wars, returning to his own
world and words offers sharp and surprising lessons for today’s
crises. Seventy-five years after 1984&,nbsp,first published,
George Orwell is back. Progressives denounce ‘Orwellian’ untruths
by Trump, Johnson, Putin et al, while conservatives accuse
governments and mainstream media of ‘Orwellian’ censorship. But
what does ‘Orwellian’ really mean? What would the man himself say
about these crises, and what can we learn from his ideas? Orwell’s
Ghosts&,nbsp,reveals Orwell in all his complexity, exploring
his commitment to political liberty and economic justice alongside
his undeniable chauvinism. This sharp free thinker’s commentaries
remain invaluable, whether on political truth, disinformation,
class, race and empire, or highlighting the promise of socialism
and the dangerous appeal of authoritarianism. Even Orwell’s
misogyny offers troubling lessons about gender politics on the
left. All of his books show remarkable resonance between the first
half of the twentieth century and today’s world. Revisiting
Orwell’s own age of rapid change and urgent crossroads, this book
sheds unique light on both our recent past and our current
upheavals.
