Much to my surprise and pleasure, the diary entries of George Orwell will be posted on a blog exactly 70 years after they were originally entered by Orwell beginning in 1938. The entries will allow you to follow his recuperation in Morocco, his eventual return to England, and his opinions on the European continent's plunge into World War II among other things. These entries will allow you to examine Orwell for yourself.
I personally am interested in this because Orwell has had some influence on my own political and social perceptions, as well as human nature in general. Orwell's perceptive eye on a wide spectrum of things and his disgust for the "gramaphone mind" have inspired generations to think more critically about themselves and their surroundings. I hope that you readers will join me in embracing this unique experience.
