It is the growing relevance of the political thought and vision of George Orwell in the 21st century when the world is at eternal war with itself in the name of war on terrorism that prompted the idea of getting this book published. The title Fictional Styles of George Orwell may well be understood as to how the author wrote in his times in the first half of the twentieth century, but it attempts to encompass a greater concept: How Orwell used different techniques to demonstrate through his writings that the world was heading toward a planet inhabited by the people deprived of the human values and becoming Robots under the complete control of their masters. Though his target was the Soviet Society and the colonial powers, but as the times have shown that even the democracies be that India boasting of being the largest democracy in the world or the United States of America where individual freedoms are sought to be curtailed in the garb of patriotism have come to follow the same totalitarian attitude. The distinction between democracies and dictatorships has collapsed in our times. The records are being fudged, past is being distorted and falsehood is being touted as truth. These ideas of suppression of the freedom of the individual thinking and how unrelenting mad race for money and status is corrupting and polluting society have been effectively brought out by George Orwell in his fictional works. This book deals with his literary tools to enrich the fiction. It reveals that how sometimes small things like paper weight in Orwell’s works help in understanding today’s world more than it was in the times of the author. While turning the pages of the book, another revelation that dawns is that it is the reel of the real times now. The book is a comprehensive reference to college, university students and research scholars of English literature.
Arun Joshi was born in Jammu. He did most of his schooling in Kashmir. During his college days in Kathua and later at Jammu University, he dabbled in student politics. It was during these days when he got attracted to the charm of written and printed word. Immediately after his post-graduation, he started working with a local newspaper The Kashmir Times. Later, on the desire of his father Chandra Kant Joshi, who died as unsung poet in 1985, he did his doctorate on George Orwell. He rejoined journalism and reported for Indian Express, Times of India, Associated Press and Voice of America. At the peak of militancy, the author took up the assignment of reporting for Hindustan Times from Kashmir in August 1990. His first love remains Kashmir and during his more than a decade’s stay in the Valley as a reporter, he worked on understanding Kashmiri psyche. He is currently the Chief of Bureau (Jammu and Kashmir) Hindustan Times and working on a book on his days as reporter in Kashmir.
