I november 1943 blev George Orwell litteraturredaktør på tidsskriftet Tribune,
hvor han fra december 1943 skrev en stort set ugentlig klumme kaldet As
I Please. Her havde Orwell frie hænder til at skrive, som han
lystede, og det blev bl.a. til en lang række i dag historisk interessante
politiske kommentarer til datidens aktuelle begivenheder. Man vil også
kunne følge med i, hvordan Orwell afprøvede og finpudsede de ideer, der
senere skulle blive til hovedværket Nineteen Eighty-Four. Og
sidst, men bestemt ikke mindst, øste Orwell af sin store viden om snart
sagt hvad som helst og delte sin begejstring over livets små detaljer med
læserne. |
In November 1943 George Orwell became the literary editor of Tribune, and from December 1943 he wrote an almost weekly column called As I Please. Here Orwell was free to write what he felt like, and it turned into a long series of historically interesting political comments to the events of the day. It is also possible to follow how Orwell tested and fine-tuned the ideas that would eventually become Nineteen-Eighty Four, his main work. Last, but certainly not least, in his essays and articles Orwell shared with his readers his great knowledge about almost anything and his enthusiasm for life's small details. |
