{"product_id":"orwell-the-life","title":"Orwell: The Life","description":"Winner of the 2004 Whitbread Prize for Biography\n\n\"D. J. Taylor has written not only the best recent biography of George Orwell . . . but also one of the cleverest studies of the relationship of that life to the written word.\"\n-The Washington Post Book World\n\nIn the last fifty years, Animal Farm and 1984 have sold more than forty million copies, and \"Orwellian\" is now a byword for a particular way of thinking about life, literature, and language. D. J. Taylor's magisterial assessment cuts through George Orwell's iconic status to reveal a bitter critic who concealed a profound totalitarian streak and whose progress through the literary world of the 1930s and 1940s was characterized by the myths he built around himself.\n\nDrawing on previously unseen material, Orwell is a strikingly human portrait of the writer too often embalmed as a secular saint. This biography is as vibrant, powerful, and resonant as its extraordinary subject.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 080507693X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.080507693X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Taylor, D.
