Summary/Abstract: In the essays and in the novels by George Orwell it is possible to find references, short descriptions, reflections on some cities. The imagined city of London in Nineteen Eighty-four, for example; or the real cities of Paris, Barcelona, Wigan Pier, etc. The used perspectives are always very singular. They reflect his life experiences and his vision of social reality. They are strictly connected with the complex character of his literary work, full of ambivalences and of mirror effects, and pervaded by a deep human feeling as well as by a sound irony.
