{"product_id":"george-orwell-george-orwell-9780871404107","title":"George Orwell: Diaries","description":"This groundbreaking volume, never before published in the United States, at last introduces the interior life of George Orwell, the writer who defined twentieth-century political thought. 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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Orwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871404109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871404107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/21\/2012 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/02\/2012 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/09\/2012 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013","brand":"George Orwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989633270015,"sku":"9780871404107","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71060c27-c4c9-4453-a270-cb496e1740d0.jpg?v=1683300614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-orwell-george-orwell-9780871404107","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
