George Orwell was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism and commitment to democratic socialism.
Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945), which together (as of 2009) have sold more copies than any two books by any other 20th-century author.
George Orwell was also a fighter; He fought with anarchists in the Spanish Revolution and was shot in the throat. He even managed to survive! He was taken to the hospital afterwards and was able to go back to his normal life.
