His two dystopian masterpieces, \u003ci\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/i\u003e (1945) and \u003ci\u003eNineteen Eighty-Four\u003c\/i\u003e (1949) have together sold over 40 million copies. Even now, he continues to exert a decisive influence on our understanding of international power-politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eD.J. Taylor's new biography, the first full-length study for 20 years, draws on a wide range of previously unseen material—newly-discovered letters to old girlfriends and professional colleagues, the recollections of the dwindling band of people who remember him, new information about his life in the early 1930s—to produce a definitive portrait of this complex, driven and self-mythologising man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833404772588,"sku":"9781472132987","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b0eb07c219301b358dc997f56008ed4d.jpg?v=1758833509","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/orwell-by-dj-taylor-9781472132987","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
