Written as individual books throughout his career, the eleven surviving diaries collected here record Orwell's youthful travels among miners and itinerant laborers, the fearsome rise of totalitarianism, the horrific drama of World War II, and the feverish composition of his great masterpieces \u003cem\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e (which have now sold more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author). Personal entries cover the tragic death of his first wife and Orwell's own decline as he battled tuberculosis. Exhibiting great brilliance of prose and composition, these treasured dispatches, edited by the world's leading Orwell scholar, exhibit \"the seeds of famous passages to come\" (\u003cem\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/em\u003e) and amount to a volume as penetrating as the autobiography he would never write.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871406644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"George Orwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040221888693,"sku":"9780871406644","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3e7727e4-a4d2-434f-82cd-5c833054963c.jpg?v=1689087227","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/diaries-9780871406644","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
