“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
George Orwell, originally born as Eric Arthur Blair, was an English novelist and journalist. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense, revolutionary opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism.
