Last Man In Europe

April 1947. In a run-down farmhouse on a remote Scottish island, George Orwell begins his last and greatest work - 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'. Forty-four years old and suffering from the tuberculosis that within three winters will take his life, Orwell comes to see the book as his legacy - the culmination of a career spent fighting to preserve the freedoms which the wars and upheavals of the 20th century have threatened. Completing the book is an urgent task, a race against death. In this illuminating novel, Dennis Glover masterfully explores the creation of Orwell's classic work, which for millions of readers worldwide defined the 20th century.
