Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Orwell was not born a prophet. Through the deep prism of Nineteen Eighty-Four, we see a doomsday prophet who penetrates all the fog of human nature. But that is not the Orwell who lived in this world in flesh and blood. Throughout his life, he was also a fervent believer, a brave warrior, and an ordinary person who was injured, frightened, and downtrodden. Nineteen Eighty-Four is his end, not his beginning.
Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia are three of Orwell's footprints at important junctures in his life and thought. From them, we can easily read some familiar scenes and emotional fragments in Nineteen Eighty-Four, although they have undergone many transformations. Together, they constitute a key to interpreting the ideological journey of this prophet.
The Complete Works of Orwell's Nonfiction consists of three volumes: Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia. The Complete Works of Orwell's Nonfiction, together with The Complete Works of Orwell's Fiction and The Complete Works of Orwell's Essays, constitute the Complete Works of Orwell's Works.
