📖 Biography
George Orwell (1903–1950)
Born Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic, best known for his allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). Key facts include his service in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, his life among the poor in Paris and London, and his participation in the Spanish Civil War, experiences that profoundly shaped his political views. An outspoken democratic socialist, Orwell was a fiercely independent thinker. His character was marked by a strong sense of moral integrity, a commitment to social justice, and a deep skepticism towards all forms of totalitarianism and uncritical ideology. He was also noted for his plain, direct, and clear prose, which he advocated as a means of fighting political deception.
Orwell's work is interesting for debate because it raises fundamental, perennial questions about power, language, and truth. His concepts like 'Big Brother,' 'Thoughtcrime,' 'Newspeak,' and 'doublethink' are still used to discuss government surveillance, propaganda, and political manipulation. Debating his work allows for critical examination of the relationship between political systems and individual freedom, the danger of corrupted language, and the nature of revolution and class structures.
