Description
George Orwell Before George Orwell was Orwell is a fascinating novel by Paul Theroux, exploring the formative years of the renowned author. In 1920s Burma, Eric Blair, a young and intelligent policeman, undergoes a remarkable transformation as he navigates the complexities of colonial society. Theroux brings to life the Burma of the time, where Blair confronts the social, racial, and class politics of his colonial colleagues, and grapples with the reality of the Burma beyond. Through his character, we gain insight into the development of the young man's consciousness, and the years that shaped him into the writer we know. A richly complex and accomplished novel, George Orwell Before George Orwell was Orwell offers a unique perspective on the life of one of the 20th century's most influential writers.
