About the Author
Author: (UK) George Orwell Translator: Guo Xuan Translator: Guo Zhaoxi
George Orwell (1903-1950), whose original name was Eric Arthur Blair, was a great British humanitarian writer, journalist and social critic, as well as a famous English stylist, and is world-famous for his novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Orwell was born in Bengal, India. His father was a minor civil servant of the British Empire in India. Orwell grew up in a poor but self-righteous family. After returning to Britain, he won a scholarship to study at Eton College in 1917, where he achieved excellent results and published his first articles in the school's journal. In 1922, he went to Burma and served in the Indian Royal Police's Burmese Force. He felt guilty because he realized that the British Empire's rule violated the wishes of the Burmese people. He left Burma in 1927 and resigned a year later. Later, he used this experience as material to write the novel "Burmese Days" (1934) and the autobiographical essays "The Elephant Hunt" and "The Hanging".
In 1944, he wrote Animal Farm, a political allegory satirizing the Soviet revolution. After its publication the following year, Orwell gained fame and fortune for the first time.
In 1949, he published the political satire novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four", which was also his last work.
