1936 New Writing Vol. 2, GEORGE ORWELL 'Schießen eines Elefanten' 1. Auftritt, sehr guter Zustand

88,15 €

"New Writing" - Volume 2. Autumn 1936; John Lane the Bodley Head; London. This edition contains the first appearance of the essay "Shooting an Elephant" by GEORGE ORWELL. The essay describes the experience of an English narrator (possibly Orwell himself) called upon to shoot an aggressive elephant while working as a police officer in Burma. Because the locals expect him to do the job, he does so against his better judgment, his anguish increased by the elephant's slow and painful death. The story is regarded as a metaphor for British imperialism, and for Orwell's view that "when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys." Please see the photos for the complete list of contents.
