Description

|
|
|
George Orwell (1903–1950) became an icon for both the Left and Right in Great Britain; here Scott Lucas restores a sense of balance to Orwell's achievements, criticizing invasive government and also informing on suspected communists for British intelligence. Well known in America as the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell's reputation also rests on numerous essays published in Britain, in which he used his formidable powers of observation to strip bare the colonialism, wars, and poverty that he witnessed, as well as becoming one of the first critics to write seriously about popular culture. Illustrated throughout with color and black and white photos, documents, and reproductions of art, this book from the Life and Times series looks at this influential figure of the 20th century, with a detailed discussion of his works.
