"A respected biographer and no stranger to his subject" (Newark Star-Ledger), Meyers delves into the complex life of the man whose visionary work gave us the great anti-utopias of modern literature. "The breadth of his research is impressive" (New York Times Book Review), drawing on a close study of the new edition of Orwell's Complete Works, personal interviews, and unpublished material in London's Orwell Archive.

Meyers's "briskly paced, absorbing narrative . . . offers keen insights" (Boston Sunday Globe) on Orwell's intellectual development, as well as his human failings -- his childhood insecurities, his political dilemmas, and his conflicted relationships with women. "Leagues in front of" Orwell's previous biographers, Meyers "convincingly demonstrates the essence of Orwell's] character" (Denver Colorado] Post), revealing a "much more helpful and believable portrait" (Paul Theroux).
