Summary

George Orwell: Respite

Respite, atypical for the author of 1984 and Animal Farm, is a witty and witty, somewhat satirical novel about growing up and nostalgia for youth, about facing aging and the loss of youthful ideals on the eve of World War II. George Bowling, Orwell's alter ego, inertly "transforms" from an up-and-coming young man into a middle-aged and resigned "man without characteristics", a "foreigner" who feels "nausea" from being "thrown into the world". The only thing that the main character, exhausted and sleepy with everyday life, wants is a break - that is, an escape from everyone and everything, and the protagonist goes to his "lost homeland". The author accompanied his trip to his birthplace, which has changed and where no one recognizes him, to go fishing on a lake that no longer exists, with sharp humor. At the same time, significantly blacker clouds appear on the horizon of stale life that will mark the final "end of innocence", i.e. the beginning of the great war, which the famous prophet Orwell unmistakably anticipates:
"Everything you have relegated to the subconscious, everything you are terrified of, everything you consider only a nightmare or think that only happens in other countries - bombs, food queues, rubber batons, barbed wire, colored shirts, slogans, huge faces on banners, machine guns lurking from bedroom windows - it will all happen. I know it will, I mean I knew it when I was driving back. We can't escape from that. Fight if you want or turn your head and pretend you didn't see anything... but it simply has to happen."
The colorful shop is happy to publish the first Croatian translation of this lesser-known Orwell's little masterpiece!
