{"product_id":"9780141395470","title":"Keep the Aspidistra Flying by George Orwell","description":"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.   Enlivened with vivid autobiographical detail, George Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying  is a tragically witty account of the struggle to escape from a  materialistic existence, with an introduction by Peter Davison in  Penguin Modern Classics.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56224770228597,"sku":"9780141395470","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780141395470.jpg?v=1762226755","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780141395470","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
