Книга: Spurling Hilary «The Girl from the Fiction Department. A Portrait of Sonia Orwell»
|
Серия: "-" Sonia Orwell was a woman of great beauty, power and presence who married George Orwell three months before he died. She became his sole heir and literary executor and has been blamed for exploiting his name and copyrights, and squandering his fortune. Hilary Spurling argues that this is a travesty of the truth based on misconception, distortion and ignorance, and Sonia Orwell was in fact an heroic woman who devoted much of her life to righting wrongs.
