Orwell died of tuberculosis in London, England on 21st January 1950. He is best remembered for his novels Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. In 'Politics and Language' by George Orwell, he also argues that the language utilized by political parties is vague and incompetent language is used to remain abstract to the listener or reader. He was a journalist, essayist, novelist, and biting social critic. Įric Arthur Blair, better known by the pseudonym, George Orwell was born on 25th June 1903 in Motihari, India. Orwell describes a style of language that is ugly, inaccurate, vague, and full of archaic terms used to express sentiments that would sound foolish in plain English. La politica e la lingua inglese (Politics and the English Language) è un saggio di George Orwell, pubblicato nel 1946, nel quale critica limprecisione e la bruttezza della lingua inglese a lui contemporanea. This quote by Orwell first appeared in his 1946 essay, Politics and the English language explains how debasement of the English language is used to obfuscate and confuse truth – a political necessity when attempting to defend the indefensible. “Political language – and with variations, this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists – is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George Orwell
