41. A Nice Cup Of Tea By George Orwell (taken from The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of george orwell, Volume 3, 194345, Penguin ISBN, 0-14-00-3153-7) http://www.booksatoz.com/witsend/tea/orwell.htm

A Nice Cup of Tea By George Orwell Evening Standard , 12 January 1946. If you look up 'tea' in the first cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points. This is curious, not only because tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country, as well as in Eire, Australia and New Zealand, but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes. When I look through my own recipe for the perfect cup of tea, I find no fewer than eleven outstanding points. On perhaps two of them there would be pretty general agreement, but at least four others are acutely controversial. Here are my own eleven rules, every one of which I regard as golden: Thirdly, the pot should be warmed beforehand. This is better done by placing it on the hob than by the usual method of swilling it out with hot water. Fifthly, the tea should be put straight into the pot. No strainers, muslin bags or other devices to imprison the tea. In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout to catch the stray leaves, which are supposed to be harmful. Actually one can swallow tea-leaves in considerable quantities without ill effect, and if the tea is not loose in the pot it never infuses properly. Sixthly, one should take the teapot to the kettle and not the other way about. The water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours. Some people add that one should only use water that has been freshly brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference.

Orwell A Nice Cup of Tea by George Orwell Taken from Soc.culture.british, May 28th 1994 If you look up 'tea' in the first cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points. This is curious, not only because tea is one of the mainstays of civilization in this country, as well as in Eire, Australia and New Zealand, but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes. When I look through my own recipe for the perfect cup of tea, I find no fewer than eleven outstanding points. On perhaps two of them there would be pretty general agreement, but at least four others are acutely controversial. Here are my own eleven rules, every one of which I regard as golden: First of all, one should use Indian or Ceylonese tea. China tea has virtues which are not to be despised nowadays - it is economical, and one can drink it without milk - but there is not much stimulation in it. One does not feel wiser, braver or more optimistic after drinking it. Anyone who has used that comforting phrase 'a nice cup of tea' invariably means Indian tea. Secondly , tea should be made in small quantities - that is, in a teapot. Tea out of an urn is always tasteless, while army tea, made in a cauldron, tastes of grease and whitewash. The teapot should be made of china or earthenware. Silver or Britanniaware teapots produce inferior tea and enamel pots are worse; though curiously enough a pewter teapot (a rarity nowadays) is not so bad.

He was admitted to a sanitorium in 1938. During World War II, Orwell served in the British Home Guard, and subsequently (from 1941 to 1943) worked for the BBC Eastern Service. He was the literary editor of the Tribune, and contributed to the Observer and the Manchester Evening News.

45. Effective Writing - George Orwell An overview and explanation of 5 basic rules that will make your writing effective, based on an essay by george orwell. http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/george-orwells-5-rules-for-effective-writing/

Contact March 21st, 2007 by John Wesley Print This Post In our society, the study of language and literature is the domain of poets, novelists, and literary critics. Language is considered a decorative art, fit for entertainment and culture, but practically useless in comparison to the concrete sciences. Just look at the value of a college degree in English versus one in computer science or accounting. But is this an accurate assessment of value? Language is the primary conductor between your brain and the minds of your audience. Ineffective language weakens and distorts ideas. If you want to be understood, if you want your ideas to spread, using effective language must be your top priority. This is hardly a recent problem, and as George Orwell wrote in his 1946 essay, Politics and the English Language 1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. This sounds easy, but in practice is incredibly difficult. Phrases such as

zardoz.net George Orwell Gallery George Orwell Picture Gallery I first became a fan of George Orwell in 1985, after reading The Road to Wigan Pier in a college socialism class. I had read Nineteen Eighty Four and Animal Farm before, the latter in high school and the former earlier (a paperback copy of my parents' from the fifties with a lurid cover ). I had read some essays of his, too. But Wigan struck me as something different, a wonderful piece of reportage written straightforwardly. I was thrilled by his firsthand accounts of life among coal miners in northern England. It was not until later when I reread his other works when I began to enjoy them, too. Over the years I have read all of Orwell's published works and appreciate him for his prose style, his understanding of totalitarian thought, his love of tea, and his explorations of English life. After the September 11th attacks, his writings about the "objectively pro-fascist" nature of pacifism and the nationalism-transferrence of intellectuals have resonated with me as they never did when I first read them. About three years ago, I began to incorporate side trips to photograph places significant in Orwell's life into my vacations. This website is the result. Posted here are pictures of London and of his gravesite that were taken in 1999. I also have pictures from Barcelona and eastern Spain which will be posted when I get some more time to work on the site.

George Orwell was Wrong George Orwell's loomed over my childhood. Years prior to the prevalence of futuristic fiction portraying post-nuclear wastelands, seemed the most horrifying future possible, one of complete regimentation, hypocrisy, cruelty and the denial of human dignity. While schoolteachers assigned presumably to give us an impression of what life was like under Soviet communism, the effort backfired: the world portrayed in the book seemed like a reflection of my own public school, P.S. 193, in a distorted mirror, with the principal's office substituting for the torture room described as the "place where it is always light." The disturbing premise for which stands is that human beings can be brainwashed. If you revise history enough to serve your purposes, and shout at them in classrooms and from loudspeakers, sealing the one-sided social contract with violence against the independent, humans will fall into line, Orwell said, like so many sheep. People will believe whatever they are told, and are no better than automatons. Reading can make you feel depressed and suicidal, as if there is no hope for the race and we may as well end it now.

Text Only 1950: Acclaimed author George Orwell dies The writer, George Orwell, has died after a three-year battle against tuberculosis. Until the last, news had been positive and it was hoped Mr Orwell was improving. On Friday morning he had a long talk with a friend about his plans for the future. However, a few hours later he suffered a fatal haemorrhage in a London hospital. But illness had not dimmed George Orwell's enthusiasm for writing. His last novel, 1984, published last summer was written in between periods spent in hospital. The controversial book - like Animal Farm - was widely viewed as an attack on the Communist system. However, it brought George Orwell widespread critical acclaim including the award of £357 by the influential Partisan Review for the year's most significant contribution to literature. Pseudonym George Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair in June 1903 into a family of relatively prosperous civil servants working in India on behalf of the British Empire.

This term demonstrates Orwell's distain for American influence Europe. It seems that Oceania (America, England, South America, Australia) looks upon Britain as little more than an ‘airstrip’ ... a launching ground into the European theater of war.

George Orwell George Orwell Wounded by a Fascist Sniper The Spanish Civil War, near Huesca 20 May 1937 by George Orwell SPANISH LOYALIST AT THE INSTANT OF DEATH by Robert Capra, 1936 "There seemed to be a loud bang and a blinding flash of light all around me, and I felt a tremendous shock - no pain, only a violent shock, such as you get from an electric terminal; with it a sense of utter weakness, a feeling of being stricken and shriveled up to nothing." I have been about ten days at the front when it happened. The whole experience of being hit by a bullet is very interesting and I think it is worth describing in detail. It was at the corner of the parapet, at five o'clock in the morning. This was always a dangerous time, because we had the dawn at our backs, and if you stuck your head above the parapet it was clearly outlined against the sky. I was talking to the sentries preparatory to changing the guard. Suddenly, in the very middle of saying something, I felt it is very hard to describe what I felt, though I remember it with the utmost vividness. Roughly speaking it was the sensation of being at the center of an explosion. There seemed to be a loud bang and a blinding flash of light all around me, and I felt a tremendous shock - no pain, only a violent shock, such as you get from an electric terminal; with it a sense of utter weakness, a feeling of being stricken and shriveled up to nothing. The sandbags in front of me receded into immense distance. I fancy you would feel much the same if you were struck by lightning. I knew immediately that I was hit, but because of the seeming bang and flash I thought it was a rifle nearby that had gone off accidentally and shot me. All this happened in a space of time much less than a second. The next moment my knees crumpled up and I was falling, my head hitting the ground with a violent bang which, to my relief, did not hurt. I had a numb, dazed feeling, a consciousness of being very badly hurt, but no pain in the ordinary sense.
