George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Have you ever pondered upon this idea that you and the people around can be All Right if we ALL WRITE? Expression is a relief for humanity. Because the more we restrict ourselves from talking and behaving a certain way the more we walk towards darkness. Sometimes we lack a voice, we don't know what to feel and how to feel and that is when external words help create a mirror in which we can see our inner reflection. You see when we write we consciously or unconsciously weave words that narrate to us our story. A story that we consciously suppress either because we think it isn't worth thinking about or sharing or it gets inhibited by others' judgment. But you see stories have an incredible power it oozes out from us the moment we get a little vulnerable. Writing, therefore, defines our vulnerability and dictates why we feel what we feel. It introduces us to our unique expression so that we can be fearless to sing our own songs. To be a writer you will never require to fit into any eligibility criteria the reason being there are no criteria. It is a medium of expression that teaches you to be boundless and when the aim is to know no bounds, everyone is worthy. You don't need to be an ace writer, you don't have to write volumes about something, you just have to write about yourself to get a direction in life. Writing is that simple yet profound. Writing heals past bruises, broadens your horizons, helps you love yourself, and assists you in self-introspection. Writing is a divine force that expells your sadness.
