Imagining Orwell in Three Continents

A photographic travelogue exploring George Orwell’s own history of discovery from his time as an imperial policeman in Burma in the 1920s to his adventures as a fighter against Fascism during the Spanish Civil War in the 30s, and his sojourn in Morocco, which led him to write two seminal books: Burmese Days and Homage to Catalonia, as well as his poignant Marrakesh essay. Excerpts from his writings and journals as captions accompany the images
