Winner of the Whitbread Biography Award: A “profoundly moving [and] definitive” portrait of George Orwell, author of 1984 and larger-than-life literary genius (The Daily Telegraph). It was not easy to bury George Orwell. After a lifetime of iconoclasm, during which he professed no interest in religion and no affiliation with any church, he asked to be buried in an Anglican churchyard—but none would have him. Orwell’s friends fought for him to have a proper grave, however, and the author of 1984, Animal Farm, and Homage to Catalonia, among other brilliant works of prose, poetry, and journalism, was laid to rest in a quiet country cemetery. Almost immediately, his legacy was in dispute. Orwell did not want any biographies written of him, but that has not stopped scholars from trying. Of all those published since the author’s death in 1950, D. J. Taylor’s prize-winning book is considered the most definitive. Born in India, Orwell spent his forty-six years of life traveling the British Empire and confronting the world head on. From the trenches of Spain to the top of bestseller lists, Taylor presents Orwell fully—as a writer, social critic, and human being.

The essential backstory to the creation and meaning of one of the most important novels of the twentieth century—and now the twenty-first. Since its publication nearly seventy years ago, George Orwell’s 1984 has been regarded as one of the most influential novels of the modern age. Politicians have testified to its influence on their intellectual identities, rock musicians have made records about it, TV viewers watch a reality show named for it, and a White House spokesperson tells of “alternative facts.” The world we live in is often described as an Orwellian one, awash in inescapable surveillance and invasions of privacy. On Nineteen Eighty-Four dives deep into Orwell’s life to chart his earlier writings and key moments in his youth, such as his years at a boarding school, whose strict and charismatic headmaster shaped the idea of Big Brother. Taylor tells the story of the writing of the book, taking readers to the Scottish island of Jura, where Orwell, newly famous thanks to Animal Farm but coping with personal tragedy and rapidly declining health, struggled to finish 1984. Published during the cold war—a term Orwell coined—Taylor elucidates the environmental influences on the book. Then he examines 1984’s post-publication life, including its role as a tool to understand our language, politics, and government. In a climate where truth, surveillance, censorship, and critical thinking are contentious, Orwell’s work is necessary. Written with resonant and reflective analysis, On Nineteen Eighty-Four is both brilliant and remarkably timely. Praise for On Nineteen Eighty-Four “A lively, engaging, concise biography of a novel.” —Kirkus Reviews “The fascinating origins and complex legacy of this enduring masterwork are chronicled in [this] arresting new book.” —BookPage “Brisk [and] focused. . . . Taylor here covers the highlights, giving both an overview of Orwell’s career and a survey of his greatest literary achievement.” —Wall Street Journal “Taylor is an accomplished literary critic and he illuminates Orwell’s work in the context of his life, elegantly and expertly charting his course from Grub Street to bestsellerdom.” —TheGuardian

It Is The Growing Relevance Of The Political Thought And Vision Of George Orwell In The 21St Century When The World Is At Eternal War With Itself In The Name Of War On Terrorism That Prompted The Idea Of Getting This Book Published. The Title Fictional Styles Of George Orwell May Well Be Understood As To How The Author Wrote In His Times In The First Half Of The Twentieth Century, But It Attempts To Encompass A Greater Concept: How Orwell Used Different Techniques To Demonstrate Through His Writings That The World Was Heading Toward A Planet Inhabited By The People Deprived Of The Human Values And Becoming Robots Under The Complete Control Of Their Masters. Though His Target Was The Soviet Society And The Colonial Powers, But As The Times Have Shown That Even The Democracies Be That India Boasting Of Being The Largest Democracy In The World Or The United States Of America Where Individual Freedoms Are Sought To Be Curtailed In The Garb Of Patriotism Have Come To Follow The Same Totalitarian Attitude. The Distinction Between Democracies And Dictatorships Has Collapsed In Our Times. The Records Are Being Fudged, Past Is Being Distorted And Falsehood Is Being Touted As Truth. These Ideas Of Suppression Of The Freedom Of The Individual Thinking And How Unrelenting Mad Race For Money And Status Is Corrupting And Polluting Society Have Been Effectively Brought Out By George Orwell In His Fictional Works. This Book Deals With His Literary Tools To Enrich The Fiction. It Reveals That How Sometimes Small Things Like Paper Weight In Orwell S Works Help In Understanding Today S World More Than It Was In The Times Of The Author. While Turning The Pages Of The Book, Another Revelation That Dawns Is That It Is The Reel Of The Real Times Now.The Book Is A Comprehensive Reference To College, University Students And Research Scholars Of English Literature.

George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
