Author
George Orwell
Renowned as the prophetic mind behind classics like Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell, born Eric Blair in 1903, emerged from the tapestry of British colonial India into the harsh realities of an imperialist world. From his early days as a police officer in Burma, where he witnessed the grit of empire up close, to his immersion in liberalist and socialist ideals at Eton College, Orwell's journey unfolds through the lens of social injustice and a fervent opposition to totalitarianism. His prolific literary career, marked by intelligence, wit, and a commitment to democratic socialism, solidifies Orwell as a 20th-century chronicler of English culture, leaving an indelible legacy.
