  George Orwell requested in his will that no biography of him should be
  written. This collection of essays, reviews, articles, and letters which he
  wrote between the ages of seventeen and forty-six (when he died) is arranged
  in chronological order. The four volumes provide at once a wonderfully
  intimate impression of, and a "splendid monument" to, one of the most honest
  and individual writers of this century -- a man who forged a unique literary
  manner from the process of thinking aloud, who possessed an unerring gift for
  going straight to the point, and who elevated political writing to an art.
