Dzhordzh Oruell. Nepristupnaia dusha - Nedoshivin Viacheslav Mikhailovich

"St. George," "conscience of the generation," "prophet" ... George Orwell was a man who would have been burned at the stake in the Middle Ages.
But now 20 volumes of his heritage are studied in schools, his books have been translated into 65 languages, they are staged films and performances, and the total circulation of his novel "1984" in England alone exceeded 40 million ...
130 of his predictions out of 137 have already come true, and this is not the limit.
Vyacheslav Nedoshivin is a writer and author of the book "The Addresses of Love. Houses and households of Russian literature. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Paris and "Walking through the Silver Age. St. Petersburg." For many years - from the dissertation on dystopias in 1985 to articles in scientific collections and journals ("Foreign Literature") - was engaged in the work of J. Orwell and translations of his works.
"George Orwell. The Impregnable Soul" is not only a detailed biography of an English classic, not just a fascinating story about his life and books, about his views and his era - but also, in a sense, his first "Russian portrait". About the Russian woman, in which he was in love, about the emigrant officer from Russia, who saved him in Paris, and about the front-line friend-Petersburger, who, on the contrary, was saved in Spain by Orwell himself, about the diaries of the writer, disappeared in the basements of Lubyanka, and about correspondence with the USSR, which was made public only in the nineties ...
The book is illustrated with unique photographs from the writer's London archive, many of which are published in Russia for the first time.
"Ascetic, outy, "white crow" - he, a fugitive from the camps of any "winners", all his life chose the side of the humiliated and insulted, chose for himself not paradise, but hell. He went "under the bridges" and in the lodgings with vagrants and beggars in England, worked as a dishwasher in Paris, first rushed to the intelligence in Spain and returned to London under fascist bombs, when all, on the contrary, evacuated. "The worse, the better" is Orwell's motto, if life is at stake."
