England Your England

`England is a family in which the young are generally thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family.`England Your England` is one of the most compelling and insightful portraits of the nation ever written. Shot through with Orwell`s deeply felt sense of patriotism and love for his homeland, the essay is at the same time unfailingly clear-eyed about the nation`s failings: entrenched social inequality, a dishonest press and a class system that only works for those at the top. Written during the Second World War, as the bombs were falling on England, the essay today speaks to the nation`s current moment of crisis just as urgently as it did in Orwell`s own time. It is a crucial read for anyone who wants to understand who
we are, and where we`ve come from.
