Michael Shelden's triumphant authorised biography of George Orwell restores a sense of drama and passion to Orwell's life, revealing him as a fascinating, even heroic character struggling to achieve his ambitions against a background of great public and private turmoil.
The Cold War helped to make Orwell a successful author by turning him into an anti-communist icon, but Shelden's biography renews our appreciation of his place as a great figure in literary, as opposed to political, history. Orwell's life has to rank as one of the most exciting in literary history. An old Etonian and an officer in the Indian imperial police, he was also a dishwasher in a Paris hotel, a hoppicker in Kent, an investigative journalist, a wounded veteran of the Spanish Civil War, a celebrated novelist, and - like Keats and Lawrence before him - a dreamer whose life was cut short by tuberculosis.
