Orwell's Complete Documentary Works
About This Novel
George Orwell (1903-1950) was a great British humanitarian writer, journalist and social critic. His handed down works "1984" and "Animal Farm" are popular and timeless, and he is known as "the cold conscience of a generation of British people". Orwell was not born a prophet. Through the profound prism of "1984", what we see is a doomsday prophet who penetrates all the fog of human nature. But that was not the Orwell who lived in this world in flesh and blood. Throughout his life, he was an ardent believer, a brave warrior, and an ordinary person who was injured, frightened, and destitute. "1984" Is his end rather than his starting point. The three documentary works "Down and Out in Paris and London", "The Road to Wigan Pier" and "Homage to Catalonia" are the three footprints Orwell left at important junctures in his life and thought. From this, it is not difficult for us to read some familiar scenes and emotional fragments in "1984", although they have undergone numerous transformations. Together they form a key to interpreting the prophet's thought process.
