George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, was a British writer and journalist known for his sharp social criticism and opposition to totalitarianism.
His experiences fighting in the Spanish Civil War and working for the BBC during World War II heavily influenced his writing.
Orwell's most famous works include Animal Farm and 1984, both of which explore themes of political oppression and the manipulation of truth.
He coined terms like "Big Brother" and "doublethink" that have become part of popular culture.
Orwell's clear, direct prose style and his commitment to exposing social injustice have made him one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
