Orwell’s Ghosts Wisdom and Warnings for the Twenty-First Century [Audiobook]


Free Download Laura Beers, Tanya Eby (Narrator), "Orwell’s Ghosts: Wisdom and Warnings for the Twenty-First Century"
English | ASIN: B0D5DP8V45 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:27:00 | 178 MB
For the seventy-fifth anniversary of 1984, Laura Beers explores George Orwell’s still-radical ideas and why they are critical today.
George Orwell devoted his career to exposing social injustice and political duplicity, urging his readers to face hard truths about Western society and politics. Now, the uncanny parallels between the interwar era and our own-rising inequality, censorship, and challenges to traditional social hierarchies-make his writing even more of the moment. In Orwell’s Ghosts, historian Laura Beers considers Orwell’s full body of work-his six novels, three nonfiction works, as well as his brilliant essays-to examine what "Orwellian" means and to take it out of the hands of political pundits. She explores how Orwell’s writing on free speech addresses the proliferation of "fake news," highlights his vivid critiques of capitalism, and, in contrast, analyzes his failure to understand feminism. Timely, wide-ranging, and thought-provoking, Orwell’s Ghosts investigates how the writings of a lionized champion of truth and freedom can help us face the crises of modernity.
