George Orwell

‘All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others’
According to the Oxford Dictionary, ‘dystopic’ is something ‘typical of, or featuring an imaginary place or state in which everything is extremely bad or unpleasant.’ If your literary taste is politically oriented, you should have read George Orwell’s works. In 1984, Animal Farm was published, providing the English writer with a chance to describe these kinds of conditions; an example of dystopian literature, but also satirical and critical of the political assets of this time. The life of Eric Arthur Blair – Orwell’s real name – has been an adventurous one: son of a civil servant in India, he joined the Indian Civil Police in Burma in 1922,to get back to Europe where — as he described in Down and Out in London and Paris – he lived in deprivation and poverty. Moreover, Orwell joined the Spanish Civil War in 1936. These events are examples of a lifelong fight to have his ideas and beliefs heard, making him an inspiring figure for everyone around the world.
