Description

 							
  
  A
major literary event—the long-awaited publication of George Orwell's diaries, chronicling the events that
inspired his greatest works.
  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 Animal Farm and 1984 (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” (New Statesman) and amount to a volume as penetrating as the autobiography he would never write. 30

  From Bookforum
  Orwell was at home in his diaries, writing most for himself, not for
posterity. He trusted these pages, whose primary subject was the world, not George Orwell, and certainly not the inner
George Orwell. Writing, for Orwell, was an illness you didn't conquer in private any more than you did on the printed
page. — Jack Shafer
  Review
  “Starred review. [A] lushly annotated edition of Orwell’s
diaries from 1931 to 1949…. Born Eric Arthur Blair, Orwell, as these diaries reveal, lived a varied and even
dichotomized life. …Editor Davison (English/De Montfort Univ.) supplies necessary contextual information and
footnotes generously, but stays in the shadows and allows us to truly enjoy Orwell’s impressive
chronicles.” (Kirkus Reviews)
  
  “Read with care, George Orwell’s diaries, from the years
1931 to 1949, can greatly enrich our understanding of how Orwell transmuted the raw material of everyday experience into
some of his best-known novels and polemics. They furnish us with a more intimate picture of a man who, committed to the
struggles of the mechanized and “modern” world, was also drawn by the rhythms of the wild, the rural, and
the remote.” (Christopher Hitchens - Vanity Fair)
  
  “One cannot help but be struck by the
degree to which [Orwell] became, in Henry James’s words, one of those upon whom nothing was lost. By declining to
lie, even as far as possible to himself, and by his determination to seek elusive but verifiable truth, he showed how
much can be accomplished by an individual who unites the qualities of intellectual honesty and moral courage.”
(Christopher Hitchens, from the Introduction of Diaries)
  
  “Among the vivifying things about his
Diaries, issued now in one volume for the first time, is how they restore some first-person flesh and blood to what can
seem like his disembodied head. What’s more, they show Orwell to be nearly Jeffersonian in his combined passion
for politics and for the natural world, not merely for fishing but also for the enlightened and fervent cultivation of
vegetables, fruit trees, animals and flowers… These diaries show him with his hands covered in fresh dirt, hard at
work, in sync with the seasons, curious about everything under the sun, tending to what he needed and grateful for
beauty as well as sustenance. They present a man in full.” (Dwight Garner - New York Times)
  
 
“Never before published in the United States, this wonderfully annotated collection of George Orwell’s
diaries from 1931 to 1949 is sure to fascinate any fan of his work. From his down and out years to his stint working at
the BBC during WWII (“something halfway between a girls’ school and a lunatic asylum…. Our radio
strategy is even more hopeless than our military strategy.”), the reader can catch a glimpse of this essential
English writer’s internal life, and watch the ideas that became Animal Farm and 1984 bloom, percolate, and
grow.” (Emily Temple - Flavorpill)
  
  “Reading the Diaries end-to-end in a single volume offers
us a different take on Orwell: less as a thinker, or a figure of political conscience, than as a complex and dimensional
human being.” (David Ulin - Los Angeles Times)
  
  “Orwell’s achievement grew out of
seemingly modest virtues: decency; good, hard sense; and clean, clear prose. Yet they added up to something
monumental… The diaries as a whole do exactly what you would expect: They confirm his greatness.” (Craig
Seligman - Bloomberg.com)
  
  “Orwell lived in London during most of World War II, including during the
Battle of Britain. Entries during this period have the author’s defining features on display, including
unimpeachable intellectual honesty, concern about the degradation of truth, physical courage, and unpretentious
writing… All the traits that made Orwell so great can be found in the Diaries.” (Jordan Michael Smith -
Christian Science Monitor)
  
  “A window into the way Orwell's mind worked.” (Barry Gewen - New
York Times Book Review, Front page)
  
  “Reading these diaries leaves one, as always when encountering
the words of George Orwell, with a confirmed admiration for the sterling qualities that have made him a benchmark for
integrity and a lodestar for writers and thinkers across the ideological spectrum. Embedded in the DNA of his writing is
that austere, penetrating analytical ability, averse to cant or any form of hypocrisy and pretension, unsparing of
everything and everyone—especially himself. He simply can't help being that way: Once pen is put to paper, or
fingers to typewriter, those qualities appear, second nature to his writing, even the most casual.” (Martin Rubin
- San Francisco Chronicle)
  
  “...[T]he diaries as a whole do exactly what you would expect: They
confirm his greatness.” (Craig Seligman - Newsday)
  
  “We should celebrate the publication of
Orwell’s diaries. The publication of personal texts by other authors might smack of cheap opportunism, purely a
money-making ploy. But I think publishers got it right with Orwell.” (Scott Beauchamp - Book Riot)
  
 
“How appropriate that the political moralist George Orwell (1903-50) should be published by a company called
Liveright! Orwell, who despised every form of careerism, instinctively gravitated to the kind of quiet rural existence
that we associate with ancient Greek philosophers or Anglican clergyman of the 18th century. Certainly, these diaries
reveal that the author of Animal Farm was happiest cultivating his garden, observing the weather, enjoying the beauty of
spring flowers and watching over the health of his hens.” (Michael Dirda - Washington Post)
  
 
“It is a blessing, then, to now have the opportunity to read his Diaries, edited meticulously by Peter Davison,
who as the editor of the twenty volumes of Orwell's Complete Works has an unequaled knowledge of the material…
They throw a revealing light on Orwell the thinker, and offer welcome stimulus to revisit the books and essays in which
that mind left its lasting imprint.” (Brooke Allen - Barnes and Noble Review)
  
  “Edited with
exemplary skill and grace by Peter Davison.” (William H. Gass - Harper's)
