About The Book

This appreciation of Orwell’s novels has basically been intended to place the novelist in the humanistic perspective. The humanistic urges make inroads into the human psyche which show up his assertion of faith in the human endeavour. The humanistic urges which emanate from his literary and fictional art, enable man to make a better living on the planet Earth — is the basic thrust which the book projects him as a novelist of humanitarian concern. Orwell’s portrayal of life, in all its varied piquant colours and perspectives, helps to unroll his perspicacity of incessant love for the downtrodden, the plebeian and above all for the suffering humanity. The book systematically studies the growth and evolution of humanistic movements which enabled Orwell to envisage that revolutions brought about in terms of the socialistic and the capitalistic machinations merely annihilate human aspirations. It is an attempt to emphasize Orwell’s anguish and disillusionment which he faced during the thirties. It reveals his aversion to the sinister pacific designs of society. It is a depiction of Orwell’s incessant search for man’s retrieval from the pacifistic cloister of totalitarian and dictatorial domains. The book lucidly elevates Orwell as a committed writer, committed to his love for the mankind and his humanitarian concern for a meaningful existence on the planet Earth. George Orwell is ranked along with the British writers like D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster and Graham Greene. What is striking is that it is a systematic and analytical study of Orwell’s novels, essays, letters, travelogues and his other writings from the humanistic perspective. The book projects George Orwell not only as a political satirist or a polemicist but also as a complete novelist and connoisseur of varied nuances of literature with his firm assertion in Man’s dignity and human potentialities (Nineteen Eighty Four; Animal Farm). His other novels like Burmese Days, A Clergyman’s Daughter, Coming up for Air are an extended metaphor of his deep and profound humanitarian vision. Orwell’s novels make for rays into the humanistic urges and make assertion of faith in the inherent potentialities of human life for a better living on the planet. Infact, the book intends to expose modern pretence and hypocrisy and thus brings into focus Orwell’s relentless literary and fictional efforts inculcated against all forms of evil showing his aversion to both the socialistic and capitalistic patterns of society. It deals with the realistic exposition of the totalitarian and dictatorial powers which remain hidden ‘inside the whale.’ As George Orwell felt the smoldering anguish of the thirties, his concern for a way out to the crisis — social, moral, political even existential — has been shared by other novelists like Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Aldous Huxley, C.P. Snow, Meyers, Rexwarner, John Wain, William Golding and Kingsley Amis. Relevance of Orwell’s exploration of the exquisite humanistic urges and his incessant humanitarian concern is a transcendental reality which goes on to remain undiminished even with the turn of the New Century and the Golden Millennium.
