作者简介
Eric Arthur Blair, known by his pen name George Orwell, was a seminal British writer of the twentieth century renowned for his lucid prose, biting social criticism, and outspoken support for democratic socialism. Orwell's work is characterised by his strong consciousness of social injustice and opposition to totalitarianism. '1984,' one of his most famous works, published in 1949, is a dystopian novel that explores the dangers of oppressive government and surveillance, reflecting his deep scepticism of totalitarian regimes. Orwell's prescient novel has left an indelible mark on literature, giving rise to terms such as 'Orwellian' to describe invasive government policies and societal control. Orwell's mastery of language and his commitment to truth and social justice have cemented his legacy as both a literary giant and a keen political thinker. In addition to '1984,' Orwell's notable works include 'Animal Farm' and 'Homage to Catalonia,' both of which delve into the themes of corruption, power, and ideology. His essays, such as 'Politics and the English Language' and 'Shooting an Elephant,' remain influential for their insight into the politics of language and the ethics of colonialism.
