Elegantly written and thoroughly researched, D. J. Taylor illustrates just how impactful Orwell’s work has proved itself to be: ‘Orwellian’ has become one of the key adjectives of the modern age; ‘Room 101’ and ‘Big Brother’ are used in everyday language; passages from Nineteen Eighty-Four are invoked in court rulings. Orwell, Taylor argues, is not merely a popular writer, but someone who quarried his way down into the heart of the human condition and, by doing so, managed to colonise the mental world both of his own age and the ones that followed. Covering Orwell’s early beginnings through to his tragically early death, Orwell: The New Life is filled with moving interludes and fascinating new insights into the man responsible for some of the most important literary works in existence today
