Keep the Aspidistra Flying

Серия: "-"

Gordon Comstock loathes dull, middle-class respectability and worship of money. He gives up a'good job'in advertising to work part-time in a bookshop, giving him more time to write. But he slides instead into a self-induced poverty that destroys his creativity and his spirit. Only Rosemary, ever-faithful Rosemary, has the strength to challenge his commitment to his chosen way of life. Through the character of Gordon Comstock, Orwell reveals his own disaffection with the society he once himself renounced.

George Orwell

Animal
Todos los animales son iguales, pero algunos animales son más iguales que otros.
Bondad
Por lo general, los seres humanos quieren ser buenos, pero no demasiado buenos, y no todo el tiempo.
Libertad
Si la libertad significa algo, es el derecho de decir a los demás lo que no quieren oír.
Tiempo
Quien controla el pasado controla el futuro. Quien controla el presente controla el pasado.
