Politics and the english language
Libri Moderni

Orwell, George <1903-1950>

Politics and the english language / George Orwell

[London] : Penguin books, 2013

Abstract: 'Politics and the English Language' is widely considered Orwell's most important essay on style. Style, for Orwell, was never simply a question of aesthetics; it was always inextricably linked to politics and to truth.'All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.'Language is a political issue, and slovenly use of language and cliches make it easier for those in power to deliberately use misleading language to hide unpleasant political facts. Bad English, he believed, was a vehicle for oppressive ideology, and it is no accident that 'Politics and the English Language' was written after the close of World War II.

Quammen, David <1948->

Spillover : animal infections and the next human pandemic / David Quammen

Vintage books, 2013

Abstract: Ogni lettore reagirà in modo diverso alle scene che David Quammen racconta seguendo da vicino i cacciatori di virus cui questo libro è dedicato, quindi entrerà con uno spirito diverso nelle grotte della Malesia sulle cui pareti vivono migliaia di pipistrelli, o nel folto della foresta pluviale del Congo, alla ricerca di rarissimi, e apparentemente inoffensivi, gorilla. Ma quando scoprirà che ciascuno di quegli animali, come i maiali, le zanzare o gli scimpanzé che si incontrano in altre pagine, può essere il vettore della prossima pandemia - di Nipah, Ebola, sars, o di virus dormienti e ancora solo in parte conosciuti, che un piccolo spillover può trasmettere all'uomo -, ogni lettore risponderà allo stesso modo: non riuscirà più a dormire, o almeno non prima di avere letto il racconto di Quammen fino all'ultima riga. E a quel punto, forse, deciderà di ricominciarlo daccapo, sperando di capire se a provocare il prossimo Big One - la prossima grande epidemia - sarà davvero Ebola, o un'altra entità ancora innominata.

Murder on the Orient Express / Agatha Christie

London : Harper, 2013

Abstract: Agatha Christie's most famous murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer - in case he or she decides to strike again.
