THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH: The Biography of George Orwell's 1984
Fully examines the origin and legacy of 1984: its roots in the utopian and dystopian literature that preceded it, the personal experiences in the Spanish Civil War and wartime London that Orwell drew on, and the political and cultural shock waves that the novel triggered. Lynskey explores how history informs fiction, and fiction explains history.
