George Orwell



Orwell was born in India in 1903. His father worked in the Indian Civil Service, and his mother had grown up in Burma. He also had two sister, Marjoire and Avril. When he was one year old, his mother took him and his siter and moved to England.

Orwell later attended college and his teachers didn't really like him. But later he became a great writer and he is being considered as the 20th century's best chronicler of english culture. His real name isn't really George Orwell, that's just his Pen name. His real name is Eric Arthur Blair.

  2. Nice biography there. It would have been good if it mentioned his role in the Spanish Civil War, and how this led to him writing Animal Farm etc. He also wrote a lot of essays, I think.

    The quote (probably wrong, but the message is the same) in the previous comment is from Nineteen Eighty-four, which is very much recommended.
