English Summary/英文概要: Writer Sean Michael Wilson and artist Jaime Huxtable
bring to vivid graphic life one of George Orwell’s most
celebrated essays. In Such, Such Were The Joys Orwell
looks back on his childhood and on his experience of
boarding school, reflecting on the often brutal realities
of the regime to which pupils were subjected in the
name of class prejudice, hierarchy and imperial destiny.
This groundbreaking graphic treatment conjures up
how this harsh world looks through a child’s innocent, accepting eyes while juxtaposing Orwell’s mature ruminations on what such schooling says about
society. The book aims to introduce Orwell’s writing to new readers, while offering a fascinating new visual dimension for those who already know it well.
