{"product_id":"a-clergymans-daughter-von-george-orwell","title":"A Clergyman's Daughter","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwenty-eight-year-old Dorothy Hare leads a life of drudgery and self-abnegation in the house of her father, the rector of Knype Hill, helping him stave off his creditors and making costumes for fund-raising events. When, after being invited to dinner by Mr Warburton, a local atheist and libertine, she is glimpsed in his arms by the village gossip, Mrs Semprill, Dorothy suffers a breakdown and, struck by amnesia, embarks on journey that will see her join a group of vagrants, pick hops in the fields of Kent, stay in a hotel for \"working girls\" and sleep rough on the streets of London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps the most experimental among his writings, A Clergyman's Daughter, first published in 1935, is Orwell's second work of fiction - and one that, in its depiction of a protagonist who rebels against and is ultimately vanquished by the society that oppresses her, is a clear prefiguration of later novels such as Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Nineteen Eighty-Four.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781847499097\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781847499097","offer_id":40755813941341,"sku":"9781847499097","price":10.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/ec8d811c-eec4-4310-9eed-495f650ace76.jpg?v=1779251439","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/a-clergymans-daughter-von-george-orwell","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
