Publisher's Synopsis
This last volume contains the letters, reviews and other pieces which George Orwell wrote during the last five years of his life; they include "Such, Such Were the Joys", a reminiscence of his preparatory school. "Animal Farm" had eventually relieved him of financial worry, but during the drafting and writing of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" he was increasingly handicapped by the illness of which he died, early in 1950.
