Changes

Orwell had only ten years left in his life when he returned.  During that period he and his wife adopted a baby boy, but then Orwell's wife died shortly thereafter.  In those ten years Orwell wrote his famous anti-communist classics described above, first spending three years on the short story [[Animal Farm]] (1944), and then perhaps five years on the longer novel [[1984]] (1949).  He died of tuberculosis the next year, and requested a full Anglican funeral, reflecting his return to the Christian faith.
