George Orwell
George Orwell (1903–1950) was the pen name of British writer Eric Arthur Blair, who wrote political fiction and non-fiction books. Orwell was known for his sharp social commentary, and clear, unadorned prose. His work spans novels, essays, reportage, and criticism, often exploring themes of authoritarianism, class, language, and individual conscience. Orwell’s influence on modern political thought and dystopian literature is immense, with Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four remaining touchstones of 20th‑century writing.
