 When George Orwell parted company with Victor Gollancz over publication of "The Road to Wigan Pier" it was to Secker & Warburg that he took his next book, "Homage to Catalonia".The firm published all of Orwell's books from then on, and he and Warburg became intimate friends.In 1940 Warburg introduced Orwell to another of his firm's authors, T. R. Fyvel and between the three of them they planned the creation of Searchlight Books.
