The article presents information on the book "Keep the Aspidistra Flying," By George Orwell. Although it is not one of Orwell's best books, this twenty-year-old novel, first published in the U.S. is well worth reading. It provides an insight into the author's individualism, that particular philosophy which gives his work a dimension that most political novels lack. The hero, a minor poet with the doctrine liberal attitudes of the thirties, has declared a private war on money. He gives up a well-paid advertising job and for two years lives a marginal existence as a clerk in a bookshop.
