Publisher Description
One of the most thought-provoking and vivid essayists of the twentieth century, George Orwell fought the injustices of his time with singular vigor through pen and paper. In this selection of essays, he ranges from reflections on his boyhood schooling and the profession of writing to his views on the Spanish Civil War and British imperialism.

Littered with Odd Spelling Errors
Since this book is simply a collection of smaller essays, it’s possible that some were unpublished or unedited. But, at many points in the reading words are simply misspelled. And I doubt these were Orwell’s original mistakes.
Felt compelled to mention this after reading Boy’s Weeklies and Frank Richard’s reply, where a reference is made to “MODEM BOY” magazine and then one sentence later “MODERN BOY”.
It’s intact enough to be worth a buy, but I’m concerned about misinterpretation of the text due to these errors.
