Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This volume is drawn from the years when George Orwell began to explore the life of the poor, and was struggling to establish himself as a novelist and factual reporter. Disillusioned with communism in Spain, rejected from service in World War II, he faced hostilities in a mood of frustration.

Biografía del 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.
