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 Scotland Island of Jura, where Orwell, newly famous thanks to Animal Farm but coping with personal tragedy and rapidly declining health, struggled to finish the novel. Published during the Cold War?a term Orwell coined?Taylor elucidates the environmental influences on the book. Then he examines Nineteen Eighty-Four?s post-publication life, including its role as a tool to understand our language, politics, and government. In a current 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.4597982A biography of George Orwells199199https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-biography-of-george-orwells-9781419747649/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4408788/9781419747649.jpg?v=638466334363900000InStockMXN10FITapa blanda1a Edición20219781419747649_The essential backstory to the creation and meaning of George Orwell?s Nineteen Eighty-Four, one of the most important books of the 20th century?and now the 21st Since its publication more than 70 years ago, George Orwell?s Nineteen Eighty-Four has been regarded as one of the most influential novels of the modern age.
