George Woodcock

    May 8, 1912 – January 28, 1995

    This author's exploration of anarchism led to several significant publications and fostered friendships with notable figures like George Orwell. His literary and travel writing inspired him to found literary societies and later focus on studying Buddhism and aiding Tibetan refugees. Returning to Canada after the war, he became a university educator and actively supported Canadian writers through an endowed fund. His lifelong work exemplifies a commitment to voluntary cooperation and humanitarian aid.

      Eine respektvolle und kritische Biographie, geschrieben von einem Freund, der dabei war, als „1984“ entstand. George Orwell zeigt sich hier als Mensch voller Gegensätze: lustig und scheu, sanft, aber zornig, Don Quichotte und Spartaner zugleich, ein Stilist, dessen Prosa zu dem Reinsten und Schönsten gehört, das in englischer Sprache geschrieben wurde. George Woodcocks Studie, „von einer Klarheit, die an Orwell selbst erinnert“ („The Economist“, London), ist „das beste Buch zum Werk“ („The Sunday Times“, London).
