George Orwell is an English writer and publicist who became famous for his most famous dystopian novel 1984, where he depicted a terrifying totalitarian society of the future, as well as the novel Animal Farm, which allegorically described the times of the formation of the USSR.

Against the background of these well-known books, for many readers, Orwell's other work still remains in the shadow - novels in which the writer, with his characteristic observation, insight and humour, describes life in the period between the two world wars of the last century and reflects on issues that are still relevant todayThe relationship between a person and society, whether it is possible to declare war on social norms and values without losing, whether freedom of creativity depends on living conditions and the fullness of the pocket. This is exactly what his work &Let the Aspidistra Bloom& is about - a novel about how an artist once declared war on money in interwar London and what happened.

Money - it decides everything, controls everything, opens the doors of decent houses and salons, introduces you to the right people, gives its owner the magical ability to please women and friends, it is, in fact, life itself. But does it have to be this way? Should people's lives be so dependent on money, and especially on the lack of it? Is it possible, living in a modern society, to get rid of the obsessive power of money, to declare war on it, and at the same time on all signs of reliability, decencyand decency, the main symbol of which is the aspidistra, whose poisonous green shoots stick out of the pots in the windows of every decent home?

The young talented poet Gordon Comstock is waging a personal war against the aspidistra and everything it symbolises - the power of money and the boredom of decency. He believes that once he is free of the power of money, he will be able to devote himself entirely to his art. But fighting money and decency has never been easy, especially if you live in interwar London in the 1930s. The war against aspiration, the war against money, the war against yourself - is victory possible here, and if so, at what cost?
