DE HOMBRES Y BESTIAS

Escrito por George Orwell

Narrado por Armando Garcia Venegas

George Orwell es uno de los principales autores del siglo XX. Además de sus famosas obras de ficción, escribió innumerables ensayos de carácter político, filosófico e incluso ambiental. En esta edición hemos seleccionado cinco ensayos que corresponden de alguna manera a una evolución existencial en el autor, mostrando sus sueños de realizarse como hombre, desde niño, en la literatura y también en la búsqueda de la verdad. ENGLISH A collection of five essays following the author’s existential evolution where he reveals the dreams he aspires to as a man and in literature in his constant search for the truth.

Yet life leads him to commit atrocious acts that go against his idealism, including killing a defenseless animal and watching on with impotence as a helpless human is taken to the gallows. He also visits a hospital, where death is an ever-present companion. In the end, he rediscovers the infinite power of nature in the figure of the humblest of creatures—a toad.

Men and beasts are easily confused because—amazingly enough—they share a common fate.

George Orwell

George Orwell (1903–1950), the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, was an English novelist, essayist, and critic. He was born in India and educated at Eton. After service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living by writing. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of 1984 (1949), which brought him worldwide fame.
