"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." - George Orwell
Below: George Orwell working for the BBC.
Eric Arthur Blair was what he was know as but now he is more commonly known as George Orwell. Born in Begal in 1903, Orwell was the son of a minor British official and a French-based mother.
Orwell's family was not wealthy and they had to live from day to day using the income that his father earned. His family had not much money but they had a good social ststus which helped them get by early in their life. After living in India for 8 years, Orwell returned to England and in 1911 he went to a preparatory boarding school where he was distinguished by his economic standing and his intelllectualy brilliance. Orwell grew up as a lonely, withdrawn and eccentric boy and wrote about his hardships in the essay "Such, such were the joys" (1953) (Orwell, George. 2013.).
Orwell attented Eton from 1917 to 1921 but went against continuing on to university. After Eton, Orwell went to Burma as a member of the British Imperial Police. In 1927, Orwell was in England on leave from the Imperial police when he decided that he would not be returning to Burma (Orwell, George. 2013.). Orwell lived among the poor and dejected in the slums of Europe and with the unemployed minors in the north of England. His experiences here gave him inspiration to write some of his best books. Orwell worked for the BBC and the London Tribune during WWII. In 1944, Orwell publisehd the book that he is most well known for, Animal Farm (Orwell, George. 2013.).
Orwell's touch with poverty throughout most of his life gave him the material needed to write a book like Animal Farm. When he was living in poverty, he shared his food, his belongings etc with those around him. He probably figured out that after a while this systems would not work and throught about all of the nations that tried to incorporate this system to try and grow their countries. Orwell's whole life was basically the fuel he needed to write the 20th-century classic, Animal Farm.
George Orwell died after his struggle with turberculosis on January 21st, 1950.
