Autor

George Orwell, the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic, whose work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Orwell's literary career spanned many genres including fiction, polemical journalism, literary criticism, and the classic essay. His work is characterized by a pithy style, acerbic wit, and the seamless melding of personal narrative with political purpose. Among his most notable works are 'Animal Farm' (1945) and 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (1949), both profound commentaries on the perils of totalitarian regimes, and his essay 'Politics and the English Language' (1946), which explores the decline of language in contemporary politics. Orwell's 'Complete Works' reflect his commitment to truth and clarity in language. His novels are not only significant as political critiques but also as explorations of the human condition, showing an enduring relevance that transcends the particular historical contexts they address. Orwell's masterful use of the allegory in 'Animal Farm', the dystopian foresight in 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', and his incisive non-fiction make his body of work a cornerstone of twentieth-century literature.
