name of Mono Edition.\u003cbr\u003e The mono edition, which contains only the essence of the complete world literature and is published in a more concise and convenient format, has been stripped down to the bare minimum, from the selection of works to the binding of the book.\u003cbr\u003e While Open Books has always offered readers a rich selection of world literature and sturdy hardcovers, the Mono Edition offers a more accessible and familiar way to encounter classics, with its carefully curated selection, lightweight binding, and exceptional price of 8,800 won. \u003cbr\u003eAlso, I tried to minimize as much as possible, but I also put more thought into design and quality, and pursued a completeness that was not lacking even with my minimum.\u003cbr\u003e With two options—Open Books

From weighty political critiques to small-scale reflections on daily life, it is a record of Orwell's characteristically clear and honest thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As the saying goes, “Orwell’s writing begins with essays, and his essays begin with experiences,” Orwell’s essays vividly contain the fragments that formed the foundation of his thoughts and literature, as well as the experiences that became the decisive turning points. \u003cbr\u003eOrwell actually developed his essays into several full-length novels, and he often wrote essays to honestly record his thoughts on experiences and social issues that had a strong impact on him.\u003cbr\u003e From the essays he left behind, we can best confirm the process of his thought formation and encounter Orwell's own vivid voice that cannot be seen in his novels.\u003cbr\u003e Orwell lived a turbulent life in a bygone era.\u003cbr\u003e Witnessing the two world wars, imperialism, totalitarianism, and the rise and tyranny of Hitler, I was deeply struck by the barbarity of humans unjustly oppressing and slaughtering other humans, and I wanted to actively engage in and protest against these issues. \u003cbr\u003eIn the process, he concludes that it is always right to stand on the side of the oppressed rather than the oppressor, and gradually refines his thoughts as a writer.\u003cbr\u003e This idea is particularly well expressed in his famous writing theory, “Why I Write” (1946).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this article, he reveals that the main motivation that led him to write was, above all, “political” reasons to “oppose totalitarianism and support democratic socialism,” and confesses that it was impossible to avoid this topic when writing, especially in the times in which he lived.\u003cbr\u003e As his famous phrase, “The very idea that art should have nothing to do with politics is a political attitude,” suggests, no writing can be free from a specific political attitude, and one must be clearly aware of this. \u003cbr\u003e\"Merry, Merry Days\" (1947) contains Orwell's memories of his difficult school life as a child.\u003cbr\u003e Born the son of an ordinary colonial civil servant, Orwell endured all kinds of humiliation at school because he received a scholarship to an expensive private school mainly attended by wealthy children.\u003cbr\u003e Despite the blatant class discrimination of the teachers and the disregard of the children, he entered the prestigious Eton School as a scholarship student, but due to his family's financial situation, he could not afford to go to university, so after graduating from Eton, he gave up on going and applied to become a colonial police officer and headed to Burma (Myanmar).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, upon witnessing the reality of British imperialism oppressing the colonies there, he soon resigns due to disillusionment and a sense of inferiority. \u003cbr\u003eHis early works, the famous essays \"Shooting an Elephant\" (1936) and \"The Hanging\" (1931), recorded his experiences during this time and contained sharp criticisms of imperialism, which destroyed not only the freedom and personality of the people of the ruled countries but also the white rulers.\u003cbr\u003e After returning to England, Orwell decided to become a full-time writer, and in order to gain a clear understanding of the lives of the poorest classes of society, he deliberately wandered through the slums of London and Paris, living as a vagabond and day laborer.\u003cbr\u003e \"The Transit Camp for Vagrants\" (1931) and \"How the Poor Die\" (1946) are works that contain his experiences during this period, and they provide a glimpse into Orwell's spirit, which was always attentive to the realities of the lives of the marginalized. \u003cbr\u003eThis book contains a total of 21 excellent prose pieces, including “Books and Cigarettes” (1946) and “Bookshop Memories” (1936), which are light essays in which Orwell, who was a considerable reader and worked as a bookstore clerk, contains small reflections related to books; “The Boy’s Weekly” (1940), an essay in which he reads the problems of British society from the types of popular boys’ magazines; “The Decline of Murder in England” (1946), which reads social changes from the changing nature of murder cases occurring in Britain; and “Politics and the English Language” (1946), which sharply points out the corruption of modern English sentences that have become a tool for obscuring the truth and hindering clear thinking.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, \"The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the British Character\" (1941), the first complete translation of his work in Korea, is a weighty essay of over 300 pages, containing Orwell's sharp diagnosis and criticism of British national character and politics. \u003cbr\u003eTranslator Heo Jin, who translated this book, skillfully translated Orwell's characteristically clear and sharp sentences into clear Korean.\u003cbr\u003e The original translation source was primarily Orwell's 1984 essay collection published by Penguin Books. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 5, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416 pages | 352g | 120*188*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788932923925\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8932923922 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894429679658,"sku":"153118","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/7a5931208f479f78347743d24272de0d.jpg?v=1765433184","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/153118","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
