George Orwell left post-war London for Barnhill, a remote farmhouse
on the Isle of Jura, to write what became Nineteen Eighty-Four. He
was driven by a passionate desire to undermine the enemies of
democracy and make plain the dangers of dictatorship, surveillance,
doublethink and censorship. Typing away in his damp bedroom
overlooking the garden he curated and the sea beyond, he invented
Big Brother, Thought Police, Newspeak and Room 101 - and created a
masterpiece. Barnhill tells the dramatic story of this crucial
period of Orwell's life. Deeply researched, it reveals the private
man behind the celebrated public figure - his turbulent love life,
his devotion to his baby son and his declining health as he
struggled to deliver his dystopian warning to the world.
