George Orwell (1903–1950), the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, was
an English novelist, essayist, and critic. He was born in India and
educated at Eton. After service with the Indian Imperial Police in
Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living by writing. An
author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and
influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique
political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and
it was this novel, together with the dystopia of 1984 (1949), which
brought him worldwide fame.
