Years in insurance and marriage to the joyless Hilda have been no more than death in life to George Bowling. This and fear of another war take his mind back to the peace of his childhood in a small country town. But his return journey to Lower Binfield brings complete disillusionment.
Quotes by George Orwell
From WikiquoteThis means no more than vae victis - woe to the creed that is not backed by machine-guns!
As to a pseudonym, a name I always use when tramping etc is P. S. Burton, but if you don't think this sounds a probable kind of name, what about Kenneth Miles, George Orwell, H. Lewis Allways. I rather favour George Orwell.
Man is not a Yahoo, but he is rather like a Yahoo and needs to be reminded of it from time to time.
