The Complete Works of George Orwell
Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950) better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist and journalist.
His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense, revolutionary opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism.
Considered perhaps the 20th century's best chronicler of English culture,Orwell wrote literary criticism and poetry, as well as fiction and polemical journalism.
He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the satirical novella Animal Farm (1945).
His Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences as a volunteer on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War, and his numerous essays are widely acclaimed.
Orwell's influence on culture, popular and political, continues. Several of his neologisms have entered language, along with the term Orwellian; used as a critical analogy to describe situations, ideas, or societal conditions that he identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free society, that he conveyed through his dystopian literary concepts.
