About This Novel

"Let the Orchids Keep Flying" was written in 1934 and 1935. It is a work of social criticism, telling the story of the young poet Gordon Constanck who fantasized about resisting the worship of money and persisting in his literary dream in London in the 1930s, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles in reality. Orwell was living in Hampstead, near London at the time, and the novel is based on his life experiences. "Let the Orchid Fly" ruthlessly exposes the oppression and spiritual erosion of the worship of money on the literary young Gordon. To a certain extent, the portrayal of Orwell's first half of his life is a description of his inner struggle to continue to adhere to his literary ideals and inner values. Although Gordon in the book chose to give up, in reality, the decision to go to the Spanish Civil War changed Orwell's destiny and led him to embark on the path of criticizing totalitarianism. However, the experiences and impressions of the first half of his life still left an indelible impression in his works of the second half of his life.
