A BBC History Magazine Book of the Year

Seventy-five years after 1984Â first published, George Orwell is back. Progressives denounce â€˜Orwellianâ€™ untruths by Trump, Johnson, Putin et al, while conservatives accuse governments and mainstream media of â€˜Orwellianâ€™ censorship. But what does â€˜Orwellianâ€™ really mean? What would the man himself say about these crises, and what can we learn from his ideas?

Orwellâ€™s GhostsÂ reveals Orwell in all his complexity, exploring his commitment to political liberty and economic justice alongside his undeniable chauvinism. This sharp free thinkerâ€™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 Orwellâ€™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 todayâ€™s world.

Revisiting Orwellâ€™s own age of rapid change and urgent crossroads, this book sheds unique light on both our recent past and our current upheavals.
