Some Thoughts on the Common Toad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Some Thoughts on the Common Toad "Some Thoughts on the Common Toad" is an essay published in 1946 by the English author George Orwell. It is a eulogy in favour of spring. The essay first appeared in ''Tribune'' on the 12 April 1946, and was reprinted in ''The New Republic'' 20 May 1946. An abridged version, "The Humble Toad", appeared in ''World Digest'' in March 1947.〔(The Orwell Prize: "Some Thoughts on the Common Toad" ) Retrieved 17 June 2013.〕 ==Background==
Orwell loved the natural world from his childhood when he rambled in the fields around Henley-on-Thames and on the South Downs at Eastbourne. His letters and diaries reveal his careful observation of the nature surrounding him and of field expeditions throughout his life, even when in Catalonia or at the sanatorium in Kent in 1938.〔D. J. Taylor, ''Orwell: The Life''. Chatto & Windus, 2003〕 Orwell had been disappointed by earlier letters of complaint to ''Tribune'', when he ventured into nature-related topics instead of hard politics. An "As I Please" article published on 21 January 1944 referring to rambler roses he'd planted at the cottage he lived in before the war〔Orwell, Sonia, and Ian Angus (1968), ''The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George orwell. Volume 3. As I Please 1943-1945'', p. 105. Penguin ISBN 0-14-003153-7〕 had brought correspondence criticising his bourgeois nostalgia.〔Bernard Crick, ''Orwell: The Life''. Secker & Warburg, 1980〕
