| 520 | |a George Orwell was a prolific author, and his two masterpieces, Animal Farm, and Nineteen Eight-Four, are regularly invoked to explain the political complexities of a world he may be said to have foreseen. Taylor draws on new sources to show how the way we look at Orwell and his canon has changed over the course of the last two decades. The result is a comprehensive re-evaluation of Orwell's career, status, and relevance to the world of today-- as well as a fresh and relevant biography seen through a post-millennial prism. -- adapted from jacket | ||
