Orwell" to Gerry Byrne announcing that "my wife died three months ago very suddenly and unexpectedly" writing about the aftermath of her death including his relief that their son Richard was too young to to miss her ".He is now 13 1/2 months old and is extremely well. He has twelve teeth and is almost able to walk." apologising that he cannot come to speak at a Labour Party campaign meeting ".I am up to the eyes in the election myself apart from other work. I don't even know of anyone suitable." 1 page 4to 27b Canonbury Square Islington London 28 June 1945 ".She was to have an operation which should not have been very serious in itself and was expected to cure the trouble she suffered from but she appears to have died as soon as the operation began as a result of the anaesthetic." Although Orwell here relates the immediate cause of Eileen's death under anaesthetic for a hysterectomy "the trouble she suffered from" was advanced cancer. Orwell was in France when she died on 29 March 1945 reporting on the final stages of the war in Europe and he here explains to Byrne that he returned as soon as he could after the funeral escaping his grief through work ".I felt better when I was moving about." and leaving his son Richard "with an aunt in Greenwich". He was back in England covering the Election which was just a week away and explains to Byrne that he had just taken on a housekeeper - Susan Watson - which would make it practical for his son to rejoin him in Islington.

9788535910773CIA DAS LETRAS. new. Ainda que menos conhecido do que A revolu��o dos bichos de 1945 e 1984 de 1949 este livro mant�m a escrita v�vida e ir�nica de George Orwell. Em A flor da Inglaterra Keep the aspidistra flying o consagrado autor exp�e corajosamente as chagas de uma sociedade desigual sem apelar para o sentimentalismo a autocomplac�ncia ou f�rmulas simplistas de nenhuma esp�cie. Londres 1934. Gordon Comstock declara guerra ao ""deus-dinheiro"". Chegando aos trinta anos maltratado pela pobreza e com aspira��es po�ticas muito mais altas que a sua capacidade de realiz�-las ele desiste de um ""bom emprego"" em uma ag�ncia de publicidade para se tornar um modesto vendedor de uma pequena livraria. Sempre na m�ngua de dinheiro mas orgulhoso demais para aceitar empr�stimos de um amigo rico Gordon inicia um decl�nio r�pido e aparentemente sem volta ao inferno da pobreza extrema e da solid�o que ela acarreta. Nos quartos de pens�o esqu�lidos que habita bem como por toda parte do mundinho med�ocre da classe m�dia baixa Gordon topa a todo instante com uma planta dom�stica que ele elege s�mbolo dessa ordem injusta vazia e massacrante: a aspidistra. Em A flor da Inglaterra George Orwell criou uma esp�cie de s�tira passional matizada de humor seco e cortante sua marca registrada que provoca imediata empatia em qualquer um que j� tenha se visto ��s voltas com a falta do vil metal.
