Over seventy years since his premature death, George Orwell
(1903-50) has become one of the most significant figures in western
literature. His two dystopian masterpieces, Animal Farm (1945) and
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) have together sold over 40 million
copies. Even now, he continues to exert a decisive influence on our
understanding of international power-politics. D.J. Taylor's new
biography, the first full-length study for 20 years, draws on a
wide range of previously unseen material - newly-discovered letters
to old girlfriends and professional colleagues, the recollections
of the dwindling band of people who remember him, new information
about his life in the early 1930s - to produce a definitive
portrait of this complex, driven and self-mythologising man.
