On 18 August 1941, Orwell joined the BBC's Overseas Service. After a crash training course (the documents for which are reproduced here), he was appointed a Talks Producer responsible for features, talks & commentaries on the war, to be broadcast to India. He wrote at least 220 news commentaries for, & broadcast to, India & occupied Malaya & Indonesia, of which Orwell read fifty-six. This volume shows that formal censorship was not as great a problem as has been supposed, though it obviously occurred & Orwell's brushes with censors are shown in detail. Along with Columes 14 & 15, Volume 13 shows the enormous efforts he made to disseminate culture rather than crude propaganda. It is in this volume that the origins of ' Room 101' are to be found; it has examples of his first 'courses' for Indian university student
- the forerunner of the Open University; the first issue of his broadcast poetry magazine, ' Voice', & a nubmer of his own broadcasts, including ' The Re-discovery of Europe'. He continued to review, to write essays, & to contribute to Partisan Review & he was still active in the Home Guard.

At High Table in an Oxford college, the pretty, young tutor Clare Bayes attracted all eyes, not least to her fetching d-colletage. No one's eyes were sharper, however, than those of the visiting Spanish lecturer, invited as a guest on this occasion, & in due course the two young people were lovers, unbeknown to Clare's husb&. & if the Spaniard was at pains to cover their tracks, his beloved left evidence of adultery with gay abandon
- & all this in a university that was a forcing house of gossip & intrigue, a place where 'at every word a reputation dies'. This affaire between the canny Latin & the flighty English woman forms the central thread in a brilliantly wrought tapestry of Oxford life, at once affectionate in its insight & hilarious in its ironic portrayals of Senior Common Room worthies.

Product Description

All Quiet on the Western Front is probably the most famous anti-war novel ever written. The story is told by a young 'unknown soldier' in the trenches of Flanders during the First World War. Through his eyes we see all the realities of war; under fire, on patrol, waiting in the trenches, at home on leave, & in hospitals & dressing stations. Although there are vividly described incidents which remain in mind, there is no sense of adventure here, only the feeling of youth betrayed & a deceptively simple indictment of war
- of any war
- told for a whole generation of victims.
