Description
George Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying is a poignant exploration of the struggle to escape a materialistic existence. Gordon Comstock's decision to give up a comfortable life in advertising for a more bohemian lifestyle may seem admirable, but it ultimately leads to self-induced poverty and destruction of his creativity.
Through Comstock's tragic story, Orwell reveals his own disaffection with the society he once renounced. The result is a witty and thought-provoking account that shines a light on the human cost of chasing an ideal.
Published in 2014, this edition features 288 pages in mass market paperback, offering a concise and accessible introduction to Orwell's classic work.
