Description

George Orwell's "Coming Up for Air" is a poignant narrative about a man's attempt to regain the innocence of his childhood as war looms near. George Bowling, forty-five years old, with a mortgage, married and a father, is an insurance salesman with an expanding waistline, new false teeth, and a desperate desire to escape his dreary life. He fears the modern times, as 1939 approaches with World War II on the horizon, foreseeing food queues, soldiers, secret police, and tyranny. Thus, he decides to escape to the world of his childhood, to the village he remembers as a pastoral paradise of peace and tranquility. However, his journey back to Lower Binfield can only bring a more complete disappointment...

"Very funny as well as refreshingly realistic... '1984' is here in embryo. So is 'Animal Farm'... Not many novels carry the seeds of two classic works and are richly readable" - John Carey, Sunday Times

Pages: 288, Dimensions: 13x13cm
