Book by Woodcock, George
L'esplorazione dell'anarchismo da parte di questo autore ha portato a diverse pubblicazioni significative e alla nascita di amicizie con figure di spicco come George Orwell. La sua scrittura letteraria e di viaggio lo ha ispirato a fondare società letterarie e, in seguito, a concentrarsi sullo studio del buddismo e sull'aiuto ai rifugiati tibetani. Tornato in Canada dopo la guerra, è diventato un educatore universitario e ha sostenuto attivamente gli scrittori canadesi attraverso un fondo di dotazione. Il suo lavoro di una vita esemplifica un impegno per la cooperazione volontaria e l'aiuto umanitario.

Eine respektvolle und kritische Biographie, geschrieben von einem Freund, der dabei war, als „1984“ entstand. George Orwell zeigt sich hier als Mensch voller Gegensätze: lustig und scheu, sanft, aber zornig, Don Quichotte und Spartaner zugleich, ein Stilist, dessen Prosa zu dem Reinsten und Schönsten gehört, das in englischer Sprache geschrieben wurde. George Woodcocks Studie, „von einer Klarheit, die an Orwell selbst erinnert“ („The Economist“, London), ist „das beste Buch zum Werk“ („The Sunday Times“, London).
