Why do I write

Book Name: George Orwell Publisher: Arab Foundation for Studies and Publishing Year of Publication: 2013 Brief about the book: "Most of what I desired was to make political writing an art"... This is what George Orwell used to say, and perhaps this is what made him one of the greatest essay writers in the world. Two books of Orwell's essays were published during his lifetime, and yet the critical opinion in Britain increasingly appreciates Orwell as an essayist. The essay format suited Orwell very much, and he said in his first collection "Why I Write?" (1946): "Most of what I wanted to do over the past ten years was to make political writing an art, and my starting point is always a feeling of partisanship and a sense of injustice. When I sit down to write a book, I do not tell myself I will produce a work of art, but I write it because there is a lie I want to expose, or a truth I want to shed light on, and my only aim is to get someone to listen. However, I cannot undertake the task of authoring a book or even a long magazine article unless it is also a aesthetic experience." And as an initiative from the Arab Foundation for Studies and Publishing and the Ministry of Culture in the Kingdom of Bahrain ("Culture and National Heritage"), Orwell's book "Why I Write?" (translated by Ali Madan) was published, with an introduction by Bernard Crick who said that Orwell should be read as a significant figure in writing political essays, or what he called a tradition that was once famous among the British specifically... In his articles, Orwell succeeded in applying to writers, unlike Dickens, Kipling, and G. Woodhouse, a new method of critical analysis, because his essays are not political publications, but they start from the assumption that every writer is in some way a political advocate.
