{"product_id":"orwell-jeffrey-meyers-9780252035616","title":"Orwell: Life and Art","description":"This remarkable volume collects, for the first time, essays representing more than four decades of scholarship by one of the world's leading authorities on George Orwell. In clear, energetic prose that exemplifies his indefatigable attention to Orwell's life work, Jeffrey Meyers analyzes the works and reception of one of the most widely read and admired twentieth-century authors. \u003ci\u003eOrwell: Life and Art\u003c\/i\u003e covers the novelist's painful childhood and presents accounts of his autobiographical writings from the beginning of his career through the Spanish Civil War. Meyers continues with analyses of Orwell's major works, including \u003ci\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNineteen Eighty-Four, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as his style, distinctive satiric humor, and approach to the art of writing. Meyers ends with a scrupulous examination of six biographies of Orwell, including his own, that embodies a consummate grasp and mastery of both the art of biography and Orwell's life and legacy. Writing with an authority born of decades of focused scholarship, visits to Orwell's homes and workplaces, and interviews with his survivors, Meyers sculpts a dynamic view of Orwell's enduring influence on literature, art, culture, and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Meyers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252035615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252035616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011","brand":"Jeffrey Meyers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064801669375,"sku":"9780252035616","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b31659e4-6310-4c16-8fc7-98cf124d5f2f.jpg?v=1768671120","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orwell-jeffrey-meyers-9780252035616","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
