Product description

A brief about the book Perhaps the reader expects to find George Orwell in these messages, a literary critic and a skilled political critic only. But he will also find him as a mere human being who fluctuates between strength and weakness, intelligence and stupidity, loyalty and betrayal, love and hatred. It is said that the company of great people inevitably diminishes their stature in the hearts of their lovers. Each of us has experienced this more than once in his life, without doubt. Because when a person loves, he draws for his beloved (in his imagination) an ideal picture free of flaws, and makes him a god. But, when he actually lives with him, the picture quickly falls apart and shatters. The result, often, is that the perfect love for that "great" turns into an uncontrollable hatred. This happens when a person lacks sufficient awareness of human nature. But when a person truly experiences life and turns in its furnace, awareness ignites and the mind and spirit mature. Only then do people realize their places, and understand that every great person is a human of flesh and blood... and creativity and foolishness. And therein lies his uniqueness. George Orwell "occupies a distinguished position among his peers, as he has been a role model for fifty years." No! Orwell is not meant by this description; it is a sentence Orwell wrote describing Rudyard Kipling. But, in any case, it is a description that also suits Orwell and applies to him to a large extent. Orwell also wrote, describing Kipling: "Before I tell you about Kipling, I must remove from him the myth that those who have not read his works have clothed him with." This statement may not fully apply, like the previous one, to Orwell... but it seems that a large number of those who praise Orwell have only read Animal Farm and 1984 – if they have read them at all! Those millions who knew Big Brother and Room 101... hardly know anything about their creator. Also, this ignorance of Orwell extends to some academic circles, and what is called the upper journalistic circles.
