{"product_id":"9781631582233","title":"A Study of George Orwell: The Man and His Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor Christopher Hollis knew George Orwell personally during his schooldays at Eton, afterwards in Burma, and at the end of his life. His study of Orwell’s books is therefore illuminated by some anecdotes of reminiscence. However, it is important to note that this book is primarily a study rather than a biography. Hollis examines Orwell’s books in order and traces through them the development of this unmatched literary giant’s thought process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the experiences described in \u003ci\u003eDown and Out in Paris and London\u003c\/i\u003e to the points in his life that began driving him toward socialism, \u003ci\u003eA Study of George Orwell\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive overview of Orwell’s work as it related to his personal life. Hollis guides the reader all the way through Orwell’s oeuvre, including his two most famous books— \u003ci\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e1984\u003c\/i\u003e —which are, arguably, the greatest literary protests of political power and tyranny ever penned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortraying Orwell as a fearless champion of the common man and a follower in the footsteps of Jonathan Swift, Hollis offers a compelling review and analysis of Orwell’s work as well as a perspective not found by the average, distant biographer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Racehorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061350678768,"sku":"9781631582233","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631582233_p0.jpg?v=1763672723","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631582233","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
