Samenvatting:

In his essay Anti-Semitism in Britain (1945) Orwell exposes the quiet persistence of antisemitism in British society—not through violence, but through casual, coded disdain. With sharp examples and psychological insight, Orwell calls for honest self-examination, warning that denial only deepens the problem in this bold critique of prejudice dressed in politeness.
Born Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell (1903-1950) was a British novelist, essayist, and critic famous for his insightful social and political commentary. His personal engagement with real world issues imbues his work with a sense of social conscience that continues to resonate with readers, and his two most famous novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
