George Orwell Illustrated

Description

George Orwell's story told in full, with a light touch and copious illustrations. With "alternative facts" and newspeak the order of the political day, a growing audience for George Orwell's work has emerged. Orwell is one of the most celebrated twentieth-century literary figures, and his dystopian novel, 1984, continues to be widely read. This illustrated narrative of his life is uniquely accessible and provides the insight needed to understand Orwell, with the kind of light touch that Orwell himself would appreciate.

David Smith is the author of Marx's Capital Illustrated and many other books and articles. He teaches sociology at the University of Kansas. Mike Mosher, artist-adventurer, teaches drawing, comics, community murals, and communications media at Saginaw Valley State University.
