Subir a por aire es la historia de una busqueda, de la anoranza de los tiempos de la infancia y la juventud que siempre fueron mas felices, y aprovechando esta empresa llevada a cabo por el protagonista, el autor nos muestra como era la vida rural en la Inglaterra de antes de la I Guerra Mundial. No es este un libro tipico de George Orwell al que conocereis por Rebelion en la granja o 1984.
