Krátký popis
George Bowling, a forty-five-year-old insurance salesman with a
wife and two children, is overweight, depressed and haunted by
ever-present portents of imminent global conflict. Hoping to escape
the staid suburban rut in which he has become embedded, he travels
to Lower Binfield, the rural idyll of his childhood, in an effort
to recapture his halcyon youth. But once there he discovers that
the tranquil haven of his treasured memories has fallen victim to
the rapaciousness of "progress", and is forced to reflect on the
folly of nostalgia and the impossibility of reliving the past.By
turns comic and melancholy, Orwell's fourth novel - published in
1939 to critical and commercial acclaim by Victor Gollancz - is
Wellsian in its exploration of the frustrations and helplessness of
a lower-middle-class protagonist faced with the indifference of a
rapidly changing world, and a vital record of a society on the
verge of war.
