How about a life without a quantum of solace?
Someone who being bored stiff started to flee into troublesome waters, dangerous evenings, ready for a bit of unpleasantness: with no spot of bother:

1 # Eric Blair was born in Bengal, a British colony, where he worked in the Department of Labor. He turned to England entering the elitist Eton. In 1922, as a colonial policeman from Burma, he stayed in the country until 1928, which served as a source of inspiration for the first novel: Burmese Days in 1934. He lived through the wandering years.

2 # Orwell belonged to the upper-lower bourgeoisie and was atheist. He will leave that College St. Cyprian - which was Catholic - with a scholarship and a strong inferiority complex, for the humiliations and snobbism suffered over the years by fellow students, against all the UK company of the his time. In 1917 he was admitted to the Eton College, which he attended for four years, and where he was taught by Aldous Huxley (another great exponent of the dystopian literature), whose works inspired him.

3 # Marked by his academic excellence, Blair obtains a scholarship to Eton College, the most famous public school, where he studies from 1917 to 1921. Orwell keeps a good memory of those years, during which he works little, passing gradually from the status of brilliant student to that of mediocre, and showing a temperament willingly rebellious (rebellion that seems it is in no way related to claims of a political or ideological). At that time, he has two ambitions: to become a famous writer (he writes news and poems - somehow banal - in a college review), and to return to the Orient, which he knows mostly through his mother's memories .

4 # Sick and struggling to open his way as a writer, he lived several years in poverty, first in Paris and later in London. As a result of this experience he wrote his first book Down and Out in Paris and London (1933), where he relates the sordid living conditions of homeless people. Burmese Days (1934), a fierce attack on imperialism, is also largely an autobiographical work. His next novel, A Clergyman's Daughter (1935), tells the story of an unhappy bachelor who finds his ephemeral liberation living among peasants.

5 Considered perhaps the best chronicler of twentieth-century English culture, [9] Orwell devoted himself to writing reviews, fiction, polemical journalistic articles, literary criticism, and poetry. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written in 1949, and the satirical novel Animal Farm (1945). Together, these works sold more copies than the two best-selling books of any other writer of the twentieth century. Another book of his own, Homage to Catalonia (1938) - an account of his experience as a voluntary combatant on the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War - is also highly acclaimed, as well as his essays on politics, literature, language, and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked him second in a list of "The 50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945".
FROM Italian
6 # Insightful and nonconformist polemicist, Orwell did not spare criticism even from the English socialist intelligentsia, to whom he felt profoundly alien. It was and remained until the end a convinced socialist, but the awareness, in virtue of the tragic personal experiences, contradictions and fatal errors of the political line implemented in the Soviet Union under the leadership of Iosif Stalin, led him to embrace a virulent antisovietism, thus colliding with a substantial part of the European left at the time.
