The story behind ‘1984′
If you think 1984 is challenging to read, imagine trying to write it!
This article talks about Orwell’s writing of the novel in an isolated Scottish farmhouse in 1948. And how it just about killed him. Students studying the novel might find this article interesting, especially about his thinking on the title of the novel.
