About The Book: "Coming Up for Air," George Orwell's seventh book and fourth novel, was published in June 1939. Written during Orwell's recovery in French Morocco from 1938 to 1939, the novel follows George Bowling, a 45-year-old insurance salesman attempting to escape his mundane life by returning to his birthplace before foreseeing World War II. The story humorously and pessimistically critiques the impact of speculative builders, commercialism, and capitalism on rural England. Orwell's personal background, Spanish Civil War involvement, and North Africa stay influenced the narrative. The novel explores themes of nostalgia, the struggle to recapture past glory, and the impact of societal changes on one's sense of home. About The Author: George Orwell (1903–1950), born Eric Arthur Blair, was an influential English novelist, essayist, and critic known for his clear prose, social criticism, and opposition to totalitarianism.
