{"product_id":"9781472132987","title":"Orwell : The New Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver seventy years since his premature death, George Orwell (1903-50) has become one of the most significant figures in western literature. His two dystopian masterpieces, Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) have together sold over 40 million copies. Even now, he continues to exert a decisive influence on our understanding of international power-politics.   D.J. Taylor's new biography, the first full-length study for 20 years, draws on a wide range of previously unseen material - newly-discovered letters to old girlfriends and professional colleagues, the recollections of the dwindling band of people who remember him, new information about his life in the early 1930s - to produce a definitive portrait of this complex, driven and self-mythologising man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45469904011485,"sku":"9781472132987","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781472132987.jpg?v=1720177134","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781472132987","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
