Résumé du livre
Those who are regular readers -- or those who are addicted to books -- may have their own favorite titles from years or decades past and they often go back to re-read their favorites. George Orwell said that there was never a year went by that he didn't re-read parts of Gulliver's Travels.
Echoes of Gulliver's Travels may appear in Orwell's Animal Farm, published in 1945.
The Books That Haunt Us is a tour de force analysis of 18 exceptional books - -14 widely known; three that deserve reading and one impossible to find that contriubuted to the succes of Orwell's 1984.
Thomas Fensch has been publishing books for 50 years; his first three were published in 1970; since 1970, he had published 40 nonfiction titles.
