George Orwell (1903-1950) was an English writer, journalist and socialist by conviction, known for his radical views on totalitarian systems. His experiences from the Spanish Civil War were reflected in the book "Homage to Catalonia". Orwell, considered the creator of outstanding dystopias of the 20th century such as "Animal Farm" and "1984", had already gained fame with the novel "Keep the Aspidistra Flying", published in 1936.

Gordon Comstock, the main character of the novel, is an aspiring poet who rejects a "decent" position in an advertising company in favor of working in an antiquarian bookstore. His contempt for wealth and the pursuit of it leads to social degradation and a life in poverty. The aspidistra, an evergreen ornamental plant, becomes for Gordon a symbol of financial pressure and the aspiration for a better life.

The novel "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" is not only a story about the fight against materialism, but also a deep reflection on values, priorities and the meaning of life. Orwell insightfully analyzes social conventions and mechanisms that govern the world of money. This book will surely encourage the reader to reflect on their own life and choices.
