George Orwell's π¨πππππ ππππ is published in 1946. Orwell, a socialist and critic of Stalin, wrote it to satirize events leading up to the Russian Revolution and then the Stalinist era. Contemporary reviews were not universally positive, one calling it 'dull.' #booksky #writingcommunity #authors
Well, it may be a bit dull but with Napoleon the pig in the white house, it was spot on.
And then in 1948, he wrote β1984β, and here we are!
A prophetic book, Orwell was something else, how we need him now.
Dull!!!! π«£
Boring? It scared me to the core.
Wild to think a book thatβs now considered a classic was once brushed off as dull. Just goes to show how time has a way of proving the true weight of a story.
