Life And Works Of George Orwell
In his short life, George Orwell managed to author several works which
would inspire debate across
the political spectrum for years to come due to his extreme views on
Totalitarianism as exemplified in
his novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell is now regarded as one of the
finest essayists in Modern
English literature because of his inspired common sense and a power of
steady thought.
Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair in Bengal on January 23, 1903. He
lived with his two sisters,
mother and father who was a minor official in Indian Customs. Orwell's
childhood has been an
influence on his later life and writing. British Writers by Ian
