George Orwell
George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, was an English author and journalist known for his sharp social commentary and opposition to totalitarianism.
He drew from his experiences as a colonial police officer in Burma and fighting in the Spanish Civil War to inform his writing.
Orwell's most famous works, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, have become cultural touchstones, while his essays on politics and language continue to be influential.
Despite a relatively short career cut short by tuberculosis, Orwell's impact on literature and political discourse has been profound and long-lasting.
