Sommario/riassunto

This remarkable volume collects, for the first time, essays representing more than four decades of scholarship by one of the world's leading authorities on George Orwell. In clear, energetic prose that exemplifies his indefatigable attention to Orwell's life work, Jeffrey Meyers analyzes the works and reception of one of the most widely read and admired twentieth-century authors._x000B__x000B_Orwell: Life and Art covers the novelist's painful childhood and presents accounts of his



autobiographical writings from the beginning of his career through the Spanish Civil War. Meyers continues with analyses of Orwell's major works, including Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, as well as his style, distinctive satiric humor, and approach to the art of writing. Meyers ends with a scrupulous examination of six biographies of Orwell, including his own, that embodies a consummate grasp and mastery of both the art of biography and Orwell's life and legacy._x000B__x000B_Writing with an authority born of decades of focused scholarship, visits to Orwell's homes and workplaces, and interviews with his survivors, Meyers sculpts a dynamic view of Orwell's enduring influence on literature, art, culture, and politics.

Sommario/riassunto

جثّة مجهولة الهويّة تصل إلى المشرحة في جريمة غامضة.لم يعرف أحد إلى من تعود الجثّة. لكنّ سبينو، العامل في المشرحة، يقرّر أن يتحرّى القضيّة، فيروح يبحث عن أدلّةٍ للغزٍ أشبه بالمتاهة، كلما أوشك أن يقبض على الحقيقة، أفلتت منه.من الحانات إلى أرصفة الموانئ، ومن مكاتب الصحيفة إلى المقابر، وفي مواعيد لا تكتمل، يتنقّل سبينو باحثاً عن هويّة الضحيّة وما خلف مقتله في دوّامة تشبه البحث عن معنى الحياة.
