George Orwell
George Orwell has never been more quoted and misquoted. Can he be rescued from the soundbites? George Orwell remains a work in progress. He is, or has become, a meme, a global writer, a national treasure, a London statue, a scholarly society, a Prize and a Journal, a trope and a show, various movies and murals, too many misquotations, two adjectives, at least half a dozen fictions, and most recently a dead metaphor with plenty more accolades to come. George Orwell: Life and Legacy is an intellectual biography which offers an authentic account of Orwell's life and work from his birth in the high noon of British imperialism in 1903, to his death on the eve of the Cold War in 1950—a life played out against a background of two world wars, the rise of communism, and the war-time pre-eminence of the United States.

Nineteen Eighty-Four
In his engrossing dystopian novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four,' Orwell created the world of Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, Room 101, 2 + 2 = 5, and the memory hole. In our world of fake news, and ubiquitous state and corporate monitoring of citizens, 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' is even more relevant than when it was written.
