Summary
This "riveting novel about Orwell's last days" takes readers inside the renowned author's mind as he creates his final dystopian masterpiece ( New Statesman ). April, 1947 . In a run-down farmhouse on a remote Scottish island, George Orwell begins his last and greatest work, Nineteen Eighty-Four . Forty-three years old and suffering from the tuberculosis that within three winters will take his life, Orwell comes to see the book as his legacy?the culmination of a career spent fighting to preserve the freedoms which the wars and upheavals of the twentieth century have threatened. Completing the book is an urgent challenge, a race against death. In this masterful novel, Dennis Glover explores the creation of Orwell's classic work which defined the twentieth century for millions of readers worldwide?and has continued to prove its unnerving relevance in the twenty-first. Simultaneously a captivating drama, a unique literary excavation, and an unflinching portrait of a writer, The Last Man in Europe will change the way we understand both our enduringly Orwellian times and Orwell's timeless masterpiece
