乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)是个根深蒂固的日记作家。《奥威尔的日记》列出了其中的11个故事，涵盖了1931年至1949年这段时间，并跟随奥威尔从他作为作家的早期到他最后的文学笔记。1931年的一篇文章讲述了在特拉法加广场喷泉上的一次公共刮胡子，而他在工业时代英国的旅行记录则展示了这位慷慨激昂的社会评论员的发展历程。

这种敏锐的观察力在他从摩洛哥写的日记中也很明显，在家里也一样，他的家庭日记用敏锐的眼光记录了他的花园和动物的发展;这些战时日记，从对海外事件的描述到对国内日常暴力的描写，都准确地描述了他对两国政治的看法，并提供了一个全新的、完全令人耳目一新的视角来洞察奥威尔的性格和他的伟大作品。

George Orwell was an inveterate keeper of diaries. The Orwell Diaries presents eleven of them, covering the period 1931-1949, and follows Orwell from his early years as a writer to his last literary notebook. An entry from 1931 tells of a communal shave in the Trafalgar Square fountains, while notes from his travels through industrial England show the development of the impassioned social commentator.

This same acute power of observation is evident in his diaries from Morocco, as well as at home, where his domestic diaries chart the progress of his garden and animals with a keen eye; the wartime diaries, from descriptions of events overseas to the daily violence closer to home, describe astutely his perspective on the politics of both, and provide a new and entirely refreshing insight into Orwell's character and his great works.

乔治·奥威尔(1903-1950)曾在缅甸的帝国警察部队服役，在西班牙内战期间与共和党人一起作战，二战期间曾是一名乡团成员和英国广播公司的作家。他是一些著名的非小说和英语小说的作者。

George Orwell (1903-1950) served with the Imperial Police in Burma, fought with the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, and was a member of the Home Guard and a writer for the BBC during World War II. He is the author of some of the most celebrated works of non-fiction and fiction in the English language.
