The Same Man: George Orwell And Evelyn Waugh In Love And War by David Lebedoff

For literature buffs and history enthusiasts, this is the first biography to compare George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh - two of the greatest 20th century English writers. Both authors need little introduction. Orwell and Waugh were born in 1903, and there the resemblance seems (at first) to end. The savagely sarcastic Waugh was rich and famous in his twenties, and a champion social climber who married into the aristocracy and became a country squire, a strict conservative, and a devout Catholic. ... Orwell was a tall, gaunt man who dedicated his life to fighting the English class system. He fought fascism in Spain, and under conditions of severe adversity he wrote essays as great as any in the language. He died young, at 46, and left behind two of the most widely read books in all of literature, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. This 2008 Scribe Publications Paperback is in good condition.
