Synopsis

A travelogue exploring the life and work of George Orwell through the places he lived, worked and wrote

Following in the footsteps of his literary hero, researcher and historian Oliver Lewis set out to visit all the places to have inspired and been lived in by George Orwell.

Over three years he travelled from Wigan to Catalonia, Paris to Motihari, Marrakesh to Eton, and in each location explored both how Orwell experienced the place, and how the place now remembers him as a literary icon.

Beginning in Northern India, where Orwell was born in 1903, and ending in the Oxfordshire village of Sutton Courtenay, where he was laid to rest in 1950, The Orwell Tour offers an accessible and informative new biography of Orwell through the lens of place.

    In the vast landscape of human behavior, some struggles remain hidden, overshadowed by societal norms and misconceptions. One such silent battle is that of gambling addiction—an intricate web that ensnares individuals in its grasp, affecting not only their finances but also their emotional well-being and relationships.

    Our journey begins with a comprehensive exploration of the cycle of gambling addiction, delving into the escalating behaviors and the far-reaching consequences that extend beyond the realm of financial strain. Recognizing the signs becomes paramount, and we delve into behavioral indicators, emotional cues, and the often-overlooked impact on relationships and work. 
    To truly comprehend the depth of gambling addiction, we explore the intricate psychology behind it. From the neurochemical dance of dopamine in the brain to the allure of escapism and coping mechanisms, we aim to paint a vivid picture of the forces at play.
