    [synopsis] => April,  1947. In a run-down farmhouse on a remote Scottish island,  George Orwell begins his last and greatest work: Nineteen  Eighty-Four.Forty-three years old and suffering  from the tuberculosis that within three winters will take his life, Orwell  comes to see the book as his legacy-the culmination of a career spent fighting  to preserve the freedoms which the wars and upheavals of the twentieth century  have threatened. Completing the book is an urgent challenge, a race against  death.In this masterful novel, Dennis Glover  explores the creation of Orwell's classic work, which for millions of readers  worldwide defined the twentieth century, and is now again proving its unnerving  relevance. Simultaneously a captivating drama, a unique literary excavation,  and an unflinching portrait of a writer, The Last Man in Europe will change the way we  understand both our enduringly Orwellian times and Nineteen Eighty-Four.|Dennis Glover earned his PhD in history from King's College, Cambridge. He has worked for two decades as an academic, newspaper columnist, political adviser, and speechwriter. He is the author of The Art of Great Speeches, Orwell's Australia, and The Economy is Not a Society. The Last Man in Europe is his first novel.
