George Orwell

George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. He was born on June 25, 1903, in Motihari, India, and later moved to England with his mother and siblings. Orwell is best known for his works that delve into issues of social injustice and totalitarianism, most notably the novels '1984' and 'Animal Farm'. His writing continues to influence popular and political culture, and the term 'Orwellian'—descriptive of totalitarian practices—has entered the lexicon as a result of his imaginative and prescient works.
Orwell's experiences in the Spanish Civil War and his disillusionment with Soviet Communism strongly shaped his worldview and his writing. He was a proponent of democratic socialism and an ardent critic of totalitarianism. Orwell's work remains influential in the fields of journalism, political science, and literature, and his essays and novels are still widely read and studied for their prophetic commentary and incisive exploration of socio-political conditions.
