About This Novel
The research content of this book is about the "Novel of the Thirties" written by George Orwell from 1934 to 1939 - "The Burmese Years", "The Vicar's Daughter", "Let the Orchid Fly" and "Come Up for Breath". Although these four novels are not as well-known as Orwell's masterpieces "Animal Farm" and "1984", they are the main works of Orwell's youth. The novels take four ordinary little people as the protagonists. By recording their struggle against their unfortunate fate, they reflect the inner anxieties and desires of modern people. These four novels are actually Orwell's "self-portraits". Orwell integrated his ups and downs life experience into the plot of the novels, trying to find the reasons for personal mental depression and poverty from the constraints of the social environment. In the novels of the 1930s, the protagonist gained the ability to make judgments about old and new values by feeling the bitter sufferings of others and integrating into a heterogeneous cultural atmosphere. As a result, he gained an overall grasp of modern society to a certain extent and escaped the constraints of the institutional environment. Therefore, Orwell's novels of the 1930s are one of the signs of the maturity of his ideological concepts and laid the creative foundation for his "dystopian" masterpieces of the 1940s. This book hopes to provide a reference for Orwell research in China through the interpretation of Orwell's novels from the 1930s.
