About This Item
London: Duckworth/BBC, 1985. 304pp/illus. The material pre-dates publication of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four, and was found in the BBC, where Orwell worked as a talks producer 1941-1943 broadcasting to India in the Eastern Service. Not only is it fascinating in itself, but it proves the importance of the period to Orwell's literary development. Thus the setting for Animal Farm is seen to derive from a radio adaptation of a political fable set in a pig farm, and Nineteen Eighty Four can be traced, in its crucial aspects, to Orwell's own experience at the Ministry of Information under Brendan Bracken which censored all overseas broadcasts and became the model for the Ministry of Truth.. Clean. 1st American Printing. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
