This appreciation of Orwell’s novels has basically been intended to place the novelist in the humanistic perspective. The humanistic urges make inroads into the human psyche which show up his assertion of faith in the human endeavour. The humanistic urges which emanate from his literary and fictional art, enable man to make a better living on the planet Earth — is the basic thrust which the book projects him as a novelist of humanitarian concern. Orwell’s portrayal of life, in all its varied piquant colours and perspectives, helps to unroll his perspicacity of incessant love for the downtrodden, the plebeian and above all for the suffering humanity. The book systematically studies the growth and evolution of humanistic movements which enabled Orwell to envisage that revolutions brought about in terms of the socialistic and the capitalistic machinations merely annihilate human aspirations. It is an attempt to emphasize Orwell’s anguish and disillusionment which he faced during the thirties. It reveals his aversion to the sinister pacific designs of society. It is a depiction of Orwell’s incessant search for man’s retrieval from the pacifistic cloister of totalitarian and dictatorial domains. The book lucidly elevates Orwell as a committed writer, committed to his love for the mankind and his humanitarian concern for a meaningful existence on the planet Earth.
