Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Services. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His works spoke out against the social injustice that was prevalent at that time. His unique political allegory 'Animal Farm' was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include 'Burmese Days', 'Down and Out in Paris and London', 'The Road to Wigan Pier' and 'Homage to Catalonia'.
