“Glum of Air” is one of the little masterpieces of the writer, a novel that is not at all like “1984” and “Castard”, who will introduce you to another Orwell - a master of psychological realism.
This book is permeated by the spirit of England during the period of calm between Two world wars - a lull of a deceptive, pre -heating, through and through a premonition of the impending misfortune. A book in which sarcasm inherent in Orwell is adjacent to genuine lyricism and realistic depth of images.
The realization that the whole previous life is one continuous mistake, one day will force George Bowling - the main character of the novel - to return to the city of childhood to experience again for a long time Forgotten feelings of happiness and freedom and surrendering to the only hobby remaining in his life-fishing ...
“Days in Burma” is the early novel Orwell, in which he enters into a kind of literary confrontation with Kipling. Burma, uniform in a sense of superiority over the natives, but disunited by internally, exhausted by snobbery and small straightforces. The fate of local inhabitants, who, in the appearance of Europeanized, but retained deeply inside, the Eastern mentality, inaccessible to the understanding of the British. These are the main topics of this realistic work, in the center of which is the tragic fate of the Englishman, who has lost faith in the empire
