Description
This audio short story embodies the atmosphere of England between the two world wars—a period of lull filled with a sense of an impending disaster. Orwell’s characteristic sarcasm is present in the book, but at the same time it is filled with lyricism and realistic images. The protagonist, George Bowling, realizes that his previous life was a mistake and returns to his hometown to feel again the joy and freedom he has been craving—devoting himself to his hobby: fishing.
