His two dystopian masterpieces, \u003ci\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/i\u003e (1945) and \u003ci\u003eNineteen Eighty-Four\u003c\/i\u003e (1949) have together sold over 40 million copies. Even now, he continues to exert a decisive influence on our understanding of international power-politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD.J. Taylor''s new biography, the first full-length study for 20 years, draws on a wide range of previously unseen material - newly-discovered letters to old girlfriends and professional colleagues, the recollections of the dwindling band of people who remember him, new information about his life in the early 1930s - to produce a definitive portrait of this complex, driven and self-mythologising man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315342778750,"sku":"NW9781472132987","price":13.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781472132987.jpg?v=1778691747","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/orwell-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
