George Orwell
George Orwell, the pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, was born in Motihari, India, on 25 June 1903, and died in London on 21 January 1950. Journalist and political and cultural essayist, Orwell is especially remembered for his politically allegorical novel Animal farm and the dystopian novel 1984, describing a future when a totalitarian regime manipulates people's reality and consciousness through blind obedience to a leader whom nobody has ever seen, “Big Brother”. Among his works stand out Animal farm and Homage to Catalonia.
