Opresión Y Resistencia: Escritos Contra El Totalitarismo 1937-1949 / Oppression and Resistance [Spanish]

By George Orwell

«Se enfrent a las distintas ortodoxias y despotismos de su poca con poco m s que una destartalada m quina de escribir y una personalidad tenaz. -Christopher Hitchens

Escritos entre 1937 y 1949, los textos aqu reunidos analizan y denuncian los abusos pol ticos que acabaron identific ndose con el nombre de totalitarismo. George Orwell pasa revista a asuntos tan diversos como la Guerra Civil espa ola, el imperialismo, la obra de Arthur Koestler, los nacionalismos o la figura de Gandhi, pero siempre pone el acento en el pensamiento cr tico, a fin de evaluar los hechos sin aceptar simplificaciones partidistas ni generalizaciones f ciles. Pocos escritores nos animan con igual firmeza a mantenernos alerta y pensar por cuenta propia, oponiendo resistencia al mal siempre latente de la opresi n.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"He stood up to different orthodoxies and despotisms of his time with little more than a beat-up typewriter and an unyielding personality." --Christopher Hitchens

Written between 1937 and 1949, the collected works analyze and expose the kind of political abuse that was ultimately described as totalitarianism. George Orwell reviews matters as diverse as the Spanish Civil War, imperialism, Arthur Koestler's work, nationalisms, and the figure of Gandhi, but always accentuating critical thinking in order to evaluate facts without accepting partisan simplifications or simple generalizations. Few writers encourage us so firmly to stay alert and think for ourselves, resisting the ever present evil of oppression.
