"Der Große Bruder wacht über dich" - eine lückenlose Überwachung durch Kameras und Monitore rund um die Uhr, Bespitzelung durch Freunde, Nachbarn und Kinder: Die Partei ist im öffentlichen wie im privaten Leben allgegenwärtig, nichts entgeht ihr.

In A Clergyman’s Daughter, George Orwell, author of the dystopian classics Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, turns his attention to 1930s England and the life of the much put-upon daughter of a country rector. Dorothy Hare lives in genteel poverty, sacrificing herself to the whims of her spendthrift father and the demands of her community and church. She is sustained only by her strong, Christian faith as she spends her days dodging debt collectors, ministering to the poor and avoiding the attentions of the local lothario, Mr Warburton.

Gordon Comstock loathes dull, middle-class respectability and worship of money. He gives up a 'good job' in advertising to work part-time in a bookshop, giving him more time to write. But he slides instead into a self-induced poverty that destroys his creativity and his spirit. Only Rosemary, ever-faithful Rosemary, has the strength to challenge his commitment to his chosen way of life. Through the character of Gordon Comstock, Orwell reveals his own disaffection with the society he once himself renounced.
