George Orwell was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, known for his sharp political insight, unflinching social commentary, and commitment to truth. Born Eric Arthur Blair in British India, Orwell later moved to England, where he developed a deep concern for class struggles and the plight of the working class. His experiences as a colonial officer in Burma, a soldier in the Spanish Civil War, and a journalist covering poverty and oppression profoundly shaped his worldview and writing.
Orwell’s works, including 1984 and Animal Farm, remain defining critiques of authoritarianism, propaganda, and political manipulation. His essays and short stories, such as Shooting an Elephant and A Hanging, reflect his ability to dissect complex moral dilemmas with striking clarity. Whether exploring imperialism, totalitarianism, or everyday struggles, Orwell’s writing is marked by a commitment to exposing injustice.
His legacy endures as a beacon of intellectual resistance, reminding readers of the power of words to challenge oppression and defend human dignity.
