The Orwell Society Visit to Morocco, November 2024

In early November 2024 members of The Orwell Society travelled to Marrakech to follow in the footsteps of George Orwell and Eileen O'Shaughnessy. Orwell and his wife arrived in Morocco in September, 1938, hoping the climate would be beneficial to his health. The tour was guided by Kevin Carter, who is writing a book about Orwell in Morocco, and Richard Blair, Orwell's son & patron of the Orwell Society. The organiser was Quentin Kopp, chair of the Orwell Society. This film by Christopher Angel follows the visit and, as we walk with the group and hear from our guides, shows us some of the sights and sounds that Orwell experienced. Additional photographs are provided by Darcy Moore and Quentin Kopp. Archival footage is also provided by The Orwell Foundation and by UCL Library, Special Collections. For Orwell enthusiasts this is a must see experience and insight into an important period in the life of one of the most influential 20th century writers in English. The visit to Morocco has become a firm favourite in the Orwell Society's annual events programme. It is open the members only. Details of the society and how to join are at www.orwellsociety.com. Anyone wishing to enquire about the 2025 visit (5-12th November 2025) should email secretary@orwellsociety.com in the first instance.
