George Orwell: Hero

Several of us have been admiring George Orwell's genius and so would like to provide links to two of his essays.

The first is Politics and the English Language. This essay gives Orwell's sentiments on the state of language circa 1946, but is still incredibly applicable to the way language is used today.

The second is Reflections on Ghandi. This is Orwell's appraisal of a "saint," attempting to paint a picture of a human Ghandi. Engaging failings as well as successes.

Enjoy!
