when did george orwell write his first book?
1940
"clink", an essay describing his failed attempt to get sent to prison, appeared in the august 1932 number of "adelphi". he returned to teaching at hayes and prepared for the publication of his book, now known as "down and out in paris and london". he wished to publish under a different name to avoid any embarrassment to his family over his time as a "tramp". in a letter to moore (dated 15 november 1932), he left the choice of pseudonym to moore and to gollancz. four days later, he wrote to moore, suggesting the pseudonyms "p.s. burton" (a name he used when tramping), "kenneth miles", "george orwell", and "h. lewis allways". he finally adopted the "nom de plume" george orwell because "it is a good round english name." "down and out in paris and london" was published on 9 january 1933 as orwell continued to work on "burmese days". "down and out" was modestly successful and was next published by harper & brothers in new york.
