Combining travel writing with biographical insight, Lewis offers readers a fresh perspective on Orwell's work by visiting the actual locations that inspired his most powerful writing. The result is both a compelling travelogue and an illuminating study of how environment and ideology intersect, revealing the man behind the prose and the places that made him.
