Orwell. 1945. Ruins. War Reports

On February 15, 1945, George Orwell traveled to Germany as a war correspondent to recount life in war-torn Europe from an eyewitness perspective. Here are gathered his vivid and profound notes from the forties about the world war, its cost,... and consequences. War had been the focus of Orwell's radio and newspaper contributions since his participation in the fights against the Francoists in Spain in 1936-1937. In 1944, the house where Orwell lived with his family was destroyed by German bombs. The writer had many reasons to hate the enemy. But in his journalistic works, he primarily thinks about the future and seeks a way out of the bloody dead ends of total war and disunity for all people. This book includes 25 works by Orwell, including the famous articles "On Killings from Revenge," "Revenge is Abominable," and a review of Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
