Very interesting essays on education and resilience, with a good amount of bleak humour. There is quite a large change in topics between different essays.

Another solid collection of essays. Orwell is clear, to the point, and witty. I strongly recommend this collection along with another Penguin Great Ideas book by Orwell - Some Thoughts On The Common Toad

loved it, an incredible commentary on the accessibility of literature and human nature’s indulgence in vices as opposed to expanding their scope of knowledge
