Harold Acton, Evelyn Waugh, Maurice Bowra, Leslie Hore-Belisha and  'Crusoe' Robertson Glasgow, all friends of the author at Oxford and in later life, each in his way epitomized aspects of the post-First World War generation of undergraduates. Their careers and attitudes, the kaleidoscope of their friends are here evoked with extraordinarily percipient memories, often irreverent, anecdotal and amusing.It was a decade still scarred by bitter memories of the War and its subsequent social turmoil and nostalgia for the 'Golden Age' of pre-war undergraduate life that had been cut down. But it was a generation that quickly built up its own distinctive approach to life and Hollis follows through these influences into his friends' later careers: Hore-Belisha's political life, Robertson Glasgow's county cricket and writing, Bowra's University career, Acton and Waugh's literary and aesthetic achievements.They would, undoubtedly, have been outstanding in any era, but Christopher Hollis, himself a brilliant undergraduate as well, believes that the '20's were a particular watershed for University life, with many new influences, and with informed pro- and epi-logues he traces the history and functions of Oxford before and after his own days.

Author Christopher Hollis knew George Orwell personally during his schooldays at Eton, afterwards in Burma, and at the end of his life. His study of Orwell’s books is therefore illuminated by some anecdotes of reminiscence. However, it is important to note that this book is primarily a study rather than a biography. Hollis examines Orwell’s books in order and traces through them the development of this unmatched literary giant’s thought process. From the experiences described in Down and Out in Paris and London to the points in his life that began driving him toward socialism, A Study of George Orwell is a comprehensive overview of Orwell’s work as it related to his personal life. Hollis guides the reader all the way through Orwell’s oeuvre, including his two most famous books—Animal Farm and 1984—which are, arguably, the greatest literary protests of political power and tyranny ever penned. Portraying Orwell as a fearless champion of the common man and a follower in the footsteps of Jonathan Swift, Hollis offers a compelling review and analysis of Orwell’s work as well as a perspective not found by the average, distant biographer
