MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!
"He was turning away not only from money, but also from life."
This sentence is the summary of the book in my eyes. In every topic in the book, the door always leads to brokeness and people despising you.
In the work, which deals with poverty, one of the biggest problems of 20th century England, in a critical and spiritual language, our hero tries to hold on to life as the unsuccessful child of an unsuccessful family. The fact that lack of money is the biggest obstacle in every moment of the life of our hero, who fights against money and earning money, is a contradiction that Orwell weaves into a logical framework in the book.
The book reminded me of Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun's Hunger, both in terms of subject and plot, and since it was a book I loved very much, I read it with more pleasure.
The fact that books such as Animal Farm and 1984 are very high-level books has caused Aspidistra to be overshadowed, like many of Orwell's books, but it is a book that is worth reading and you can be sure that you will be satisfied after reading it. I definitely recommend it.
