Churchill and Orwell: Battle of Freedom. Ricks T.

Based on the material of the biographies of Winston Churchill and George Orwell, the author shows that these two of these people who are not more dissimilar to each other more than other other contemporaries influenced the ideological structure of the post -war Western society. Their weapon was a word, and their books and performances today have a huge impact on millions of people. Having concentrated on the most fruitful segment of their lives of the 1930s - the1940, Thomas Ricks not only draws the exact psychological portraits of his heroes, but also recreates the picture of the life of the British empire of that period in all its splendor and poverty with colonial aspirations and class contradictions, the fatal policy of the appeal and the fatal policy and the fatal policy of the decrease and Passion for fascism from the ruling elite. The book of Orwell’s participation in the Civil War in Spain, and the decisive role of Churchill during the Second World War, are reflected in the book. At the same time, Rix does not write ceremonial portraits of great people, but fearlessly shows his heroes in moments of moral and intellectual take -off and emotional and physical decline, manifestations of incredible spiritual strength and outright human weakness.
