George Orwell era un corrispondente instancabile e vivace. Comunicava con familiari, amici e giornali, personaggi come Henry Miller, Cyril Connolly, Stephen Spender e Arthur Koestler e sconosciuti che gli scrivevano all'improvviso. Questo volume accuratamente selezionato della sua corrispondenza fornisce una narrazione eloquente della vita di Orwell, dai suoi giorni di scuola alla sua ultima malattia. Le lettere di Orwell offrono una visione unica e affascinante dei suoi pensieri su questioni sia personali, politiche e molto altro, dai poltergeist alle canzoni scolastiche delle ragazze e all'arte del gioco del croquet. In una nota a casa per sua madre da scuola, racconta di essersi "divertito molto dopo il tè"; molto più tardi scrive di aver scelto uno pseudonimo e di aver fatto entrare di nascosto una copia di Ulisse nel paese. Cogliamo scorci illuminanti della sua vita familiare: i denti in crescita di suo figlio Richard, la morte di sua moglie Eileen e la sua stessa malattia. Il suo talento di scrittore politico emerge nelle sue descrizioni di Barcellona durante la guerra civile spagnola, nelle sue opinioni sulle baionette e sull'incatenamento dei prigionieri tedeschi. E naturalmente, le lettere agli amici e al suo editore tracciano lo sviluppo e la pubblicazione di alcuni dei romanzi più famosi in lingua inglese, offrendo una visione senza pari delle sue opinioni sul suo lavoro e su quello dei suoi contemporanei. A Life in Letters presenta materiale inedito, tra cui lettere che gettano nuova luce su un amore che lo avrebbe perseguitato per tutta la vita, oltre a rivelare l'ispirazione per alcuni dei suoi personaggi più famosi. Presentata per la prima volta in un volume dedicato, questa selezione di lettere di Orwell è un compagno indispensabile per i suoi diari.
