A collection of Orwell's letters, selected and annotated by Peter Davison.

This title includes letters which shed light on a love that would haunt him for his whole life.

Arouses your warmest sympathy Daily Mail A Life in Letters contains nearly everything a reader new to Orwell needs to know about him -- DJ Taylor New Statesman 'Mr Davison's new edition of the letters is compelling...unlike a conventional biography, the character of the subject comes through undiluted.' Sunday Telegraph 'This is the authentic Orwell voice: wonderfully clear and fresh and forthright' Mail on Sunday 'the best single-volume selection we could hope for' Sunday Times 'Orwell: A Life in Letters should take its place beside the five major biographies ... as an indepsensible resource for understanding George Orwell and his times.' John Rodden
