George Orwell was born in 1903 in Motihari, Bengal, India. His real name was Eric Arthur Blair. His father, Richard Walmesley Blair, served as a civilian for the British government. In 1904, Orwell moved with his mother and sister to England, where he remained until 1922. He began writing at a young age and even published in college periodicals, but did not like school.
Orwell wrote about his unpleasant experiences in prep school in the essay “Such were the Joys” (1968). He did not gain any right to study and as he could not afford to continue school, he went to Bruma and served in the administration of the Indian Imperial Police from 1922 until 1927, when he resigned, in part because of his growing incompatibility. for British imperialism, which he expressed in his essays “Shooting an Elephant” (1950) and “A hanging” (1931).
When Orwell returned to Europe, he was in dire financial straits and did low-paying jobs in France and England. Finally, in 1928, he decided to become a professional writer. Beginning in 1930, Orwell became a regular contributor to New Adelphi, and in 1933, he was renamed George Orwell, after whom he would become famous. For his first novel, he was inspired by his recent experiences with poverty and wrote Down and out in Paris and London (1933). While teaching at a private school, he published his second major work, Burmese Days (1934). Two years later, he married Eileen O’Shaugnessy.
During the 1930s, Orwell adapted to the views of a socialist and traveled to Spain to report on the civil war. He supported the militants of the Marxist United Workers’ Party and fought alongside them. It was this war that made him hate communism and favor English socialism. Orwell wrote a book on Spain, Homage to Catalonia, published in 1938. During World War II, he served as an officer in the Reserve Guard and also worked as a journalist for the BBC, The Observer and the Tribune, where he was literary editor, from 1943 to 1945.
Towards the end of the war, he wrote “Animal Farm” and when the war ended, he went to Scotland. It was the “Animal Farm” that finally made Orwell successful. His other worldwide success was the Nineteen Eighty-Four, which Orwell said was written “to change the minds of others about the kind of society they should fight for.”
Unfortunately, Orwell did not live long enough to see how successful he would become because he died of tuberculosis in Loner on January 21, 1950.
