Abstract
Few writers are better known than George Orwell. Even those who haven’t read him think they have. He is Britain’s most famous writer, known everywhere even in countries where he is banned. He’s in the media every day. There are hundreds of books about him—not just bi-ographical but fictional and non-fictional too, as well as shows and dramas and ‘Orwellian’ moral lessons. So why do we need another book? You may think his fame makes any further appreciation superfluous. On the contrary, the more that pours forth from every corner, the more we stand in need of a clear and straightforward assessment. George Orwell. Life & Legacy tries to be that assessment. It assumes no prior knowledge. It is entirely original and writ-ten for purpose. It can be read in a couple of days.
