5.0 out of 5 stars A nice little book., September 19, 2006
The English People by George Orwell is a great little book about the English people. Their character, their faults, their merits and their future. Orwell, as in most of his books, holds nothing back. He hits the nail right on the head and cares nothing for the feelings of his readers. Hate him or love him, you have to respect him.
I am REALLY proud of my copy as, if you check the inside front cover, you will find it was a gift to somebody in 1947! A first edition.
And his advice to the English people on how to protect their future?
"They must breed faster, work harder, and probably live more simply, think more deeply, get rid of their snobbishness and their anachronistic class distinctions, and pay more attention to the world and less to their own backyard. Nearly all of them love their country, but they must learn to love it intelligently."
Good advice for everybody, really.
