商品簡介
Revered across the globe as an author of compelling novels, journalism, and essays that came to define the twentieth century, George Orwell was anunmatchedpolitical visionary, shining a light on the insidious nature of propaganda. Yet this chronicler of war,social injusticesand urban poverty spent his later years livingina rustic abandoned farmhouse that was miles from the nearest neighbor.His rural escapewas on the remote Scottish island of Juraanother paradox, given that he had harbored anirrational prejudice against Scotland for much of his life.In 1946, Orwell arrived at his isolated home of Barnhill as a grieving widowerlivingin the shadow of war and the nuclear threat. It was there he wrote hismasterpiece,Nineteen Eighty-Four.Beyond the writing desk, he was transformed: his new life was one of natural beauty and tight-knit communityand he grew to love a corner of the world that he had once dismissed.Orwells Islandcasts important new light on a great modern thinker and author.No previous biography has revealed so much about Orwells later years or his time on Jura, despite this being where he created Big Brother, the Thought Police and Room 101creations still in common currency today.
