George Orwell bibliography
In addition to his novels Orwell also wrote three non-fiction books. "Down and Out in Paris and London" records his experiences tramping and teaching in those two cities. "The Road to Wigan Pier" is initially a study of poverty in the North of England, but ends with an extended autobiographical essay describing some of Orwell's experiences with poverty. "Homage to Catalonia" recounts his experiences as a volunteer fighting fascism with the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification in anarchist Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War.Orwell wrote hundreds of essays, book reviews and editorials. His insights into linguistics, literature and politics—in particular anti-fascism, anti-communism, and democratic socialism—continued to be influential decades after his death. Over a dozen of these were published in collections during his life—"Inside the Whale and Other Essays" by his original publisher Victor Gollancz Ltd in 1940, and "Critical Essays" by Secker and Warburg in 1946. The latter press also published the collections "Shooting an Elephant and Other Essays" in 1950 (republished by Penguin in 2003) and "England Your England and Other Essays" in 1953.
