O avtorju
George Orwell, the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, was a formidable figure in twentieth-century literature, known for his incisive prose and profound consciousness of social injustice. Born on June 25, 1903, in Motihari, British India, Orwell's experiences in the British class system would prominently shape his ideology and literary output. He is recognized for his lucid commentary on the oppressive political regimes of his time, conveyed through both fiction and nonfiction works. Orwell's oeuvre is typified by a trenchant exploration of totalitarianism, language, and the manipulation of truth. 'Homage to Catalonia' (1938), one of his lesser-known yet critically acclaimed works, offers a vivid firsthand account of his experiences fighting in the Spanish Civil War and a direct critique of Stalinism, which would serve as a precursor to his seminal dystopian novels, 'Animal Farm' (1945) and '1984' (1949). His prose, characterized by simplicity and clarity, sought to unveil the veils of political euphemism and obfuscation. Orwell passed away on January 21, 1950, but his work continues to resonate for its prescient warnings and the staunch belief that clarity of language equates to political honesty and freedom.
