About what: for the first time published in Russian, George Orwell"s diaries reveal before us an unknown, hidden from the eyes of readers of his great works, the story of an ordinary life of an extraordinary person. Eleven preserved diaries, written by him from 1931 to 1939, describe his youthful wanderings among miners and wandering workers, the rise of totalitarianism and the terrible drama of the Second World War.
He recorded everything - his thoughts, sketches of poems, observations of the weather, clippings from newspapers with recipes and advice to the gardener. These daily notes retained priceless “seeds” of events and thoughts, from which his literary masterpieces later grew up. They also reflected the tragic moments of his personal life, such as the death of the first wife and his own extinction in a painful struggle with tuberculosis.
Stylistically impeccable, Orwell’s diaries absorbed the fullness of his life and thoughts for many years, being the experience of an autobiography, which he will never write
