George Orwell: Diaries by George Orwell

George Orwell: Diaries by George OrwellGeorge Orwell was an inveterate keeper of diaries. The Orwell Diaries presents eleven of them, covering the period 1931 1949, and follows Orwell from his early years as a writer to his last literary notebook. An entry from 1931 tells of a communal shave in the Trafalgar Square fountains, while notes from his travels through industrial England show the development of the impassioned social commentator. This same acute power of observation is evident in
