George Orwell: The Man and the Mind Behind 1984 summary & excerpts
Hello, I'm Michael Sheldon, and I want to welcome you to this series of lectures on George Orwell, who gave us 1984, one of the most influential and popular novels in world literature. I've been shadowing Orwell ever since the real year of 1984, when I happened to discover, as a young English professor, about 100 unknown letters filed away in a rare books library under his real name of Eric Blair. Next thing you know, I was writing a book about his literary circle in London. I called it Friends of Promise, and the strength of that book, Orwell's Literary Estate, asked me to write his biography. In those days, the late 1980s, many of his contemporaries were still alive, and I had the great honor and privilege of interviewing or corresponding with dozens of them. I had drinks at a country pub with a man who had been at prep school with him in 1912. I met one of his colleagues from the 1920s, when Orwell was a colonial police officer in Burma.
