One of the most famous writers of all time, George Orwell's life played a huge part in his understanding of the world. A constant critic of power and authority, the roots of 'Animal Farm' and 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' began to grow in his formative years as a pupil at a strict private school in Eastbourne. His essay 'Such, Such Were the Joys' recounts the ugly realities of the regime to which pupils were subjected in the name of class prejudice, hierarchy, and imperial destiny. This graphic novel vividly brings his experiences at school to life.
Such, such were the joys : a graphic novel / George Orwell ; illustrated by Jaime Huxtable ; adapted by Sean Michael Wilson.
