paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condition: New. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them - masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball - starts to take control.Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling "fairy story" is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.This powerfully and beautifully drawn graphic novel adaptation is destined to become the classic illustrated edition of this celebrated work. Purmensky, Michael (illustrator). …

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Here is "Orwell" - The Authorized Biography, by Michael Shelden, 1991 First Edition Hardcover Published by HarperCollins in New York. This edition is Out of Print - OP. Excerpted from the jacket write-up : |> In his Probing and revelatory biography of one of the great prose stylists of the 20th Century, Michael Shelden breaks new ground in the evocation of George Orwell's personal life and in understanding his art. Based on original interviews, previously undiscovered letters and documents, and astute literary detective work by Shelden, "Orwell" is the major biography of one of the great yet elusive literary figures of the 20th Century. |> The Cold War helped make Orwell a successful author by turning him into an anti-Communist icon, but Michael Shelden's biography renews our appreciation of his place in literary, as opposed to political, history. An Old Etonian and an officer in the Indian Imperial Police, he was also a dishwasher in a Paris hotel, a hop picker in Kent, an investigative journalist, a wounded veteran of the Spanish Civil War, a celebrated novelist, and - like Keats and D. H. Lawrence before him - a dreamer whose life was cut short by tuberculosis. The human qualities that make the story of Orwell's life so appealing dominate this biography - his integrity, his courage, his odd mixture of radical and conservative attitudes, and his struggle to balance the public and private sides of his character. |> Shelden's portrait of Orwell is an unusually complex and subtle one. Orwell thrived on contradiction. He called himself a socialist, yet he was always pointing out the weaknesses in socialism. He devoted enormous efforts to writing his novels, yet he admitted near the end of his life, "I am not a real novelist anyway." He was an intellectual who ran a small village shop and referred to himself as a "grocer"; he was an ex-policeman who lived among tramps --- <| TITLE : Orwell - The Authorized Biography AUTHOR : Michael Shelden IMPRINT : HarperCollins PLACE : New York DATE : (1991) EDITION : First Edition (So stated and with number line to that effect) STATUS : This edition Out of Print - OP (There is still a British Edition in print) DETAILS : Trade hardcover; quarter-bound with black cloth-covered spine with silver gilt lettering, and gray paper-covered boards; approx. 6 1/8" x 9 1/4"; fore-edge of text-block is rough-cut; contains 27 illustrations (black-and-white photographs) arranged in a discrete section; has an Introduction; a list of books by Orwell; a section of sources, abbreviations, and note; a Select Bibliography; an index.

Paperback. Condition: New. One of the most famous writers of all time, George Orwell's life played a huge part in his understanding of the world. A constant critic of power and authority, the roots of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four began to grow in his formative years as a pupil at a strict private school in Eastbourne. His essay Such, Such Were The Joys recounts the ugly realities of the regime to which pupils were subjected in the name of class prejudice, hierarchy and imperial destiny.This graphic novel vividly brings his experiences at school to life. As Orwell earned his place through scholarship rather than wealth, he was picked on by both staff and richer students. The violence of his teachers and the shame he experienced on a daily basis leap from the pages, conjuring up how this harsh world looked through a child's innocent eyes while juxtaposing the mature Orwell's ruminations on what such schooling says about society.Today, as the private school and class system endure, this is a vivid reminder that the world Orwell sought to change is still with us.
