«A Clergyman's Daughter» is the classic novel by George Orwell published by Penguin Classics in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Dorothy Hare, daughter of a rector, lives subject to parish duties. After suffering amnesia, she wakes up alone and penniless in London and survives on the margins: she picks hops in Kent, sleeps in Trafalgar Square and takes precarious jobs. Orwell denounces social institutions and exploitation in 1930s England.
The novel was originally published in 1935; this Penguin Classics edition, part of the Twentieth Century Classics series, appeared in 1990.
For readers of English classics and for those who know George Orwell from Animal Farm or 1984 and want to discover his social criticism side.
Eric Arthur Blair was an English novelist, poet, essayist, journalist, and critic who wrote under the pen name of George Orwell. His work is characterised by lucid prose, social criticism, opposition to all totalitarianism, and support of democratic socialism.
