'The feeling that the very concept of objective truth is fading from the world... this prospect scares me much more than bombs.'

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of George Orwell's death, a new collection of his brilliant essays written during the Second World War is being released.

The collection 'Fascism and Democracy' includes five outstanding examples of Orwell's writing during the darkest days of the war. Addressing the principles of democracy and the possibility of reform, the concept of literature and freedom of speech in times of violence, as well as the viability of objective truth, Orwell offers a timely depiction of a country where rules and ideas can no longer be taken for granted.

Like Orwell's best works, these essays also serve as timeless reminders of the fragility of freedom.
