Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen

name George Orwell, was an English novelist and essayist, journalist and critic.
His work is characterised by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice,
opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism.

As a writer, Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical
journalism. He is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and
the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works,
including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of
working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an
account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish
Civil War (1936–1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and
literature, language and culture.
