Inhaltsangabe

This last volume contains the letters, reviews and other pieces which George Orwell wrote during the last five years of his life; they include "Such, Such Were the Joys", a reminiscence of his preparatory school. "Animal Farm" had eventually relieved him of financial worry, but during the drafting and writing of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" he was increasingly handicapped by the illness of which he died, early in 1950.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
