The Life and Work of George Orwell George Orwell is the name of the person behind brilliant literary works such as Animal Farm and "1984". After studying his book Animal Farm more closely, I decided to take a closer look at the person who wrote that brilliant allegory. I also tried to understand why, and how it was possible that a man who grew up far from the communist/totalitarian regime could describe it so precisely and so surprisingly prophetic. Born Eric Blair on 25 June 1903, in India into the family of an imperial officer, after going to boarding school and then to Eton, he decided to interrupt his studies and joined the Indian imperial police at the age of 20. He served in Burma for 5 years and later described that time as the most miserable times and that he hated being the bully who arrested people to be beaten. After leaving Burma, Eric wanted to experience the life of the oppressed, so he moved to Paris disguised as a poor homeless man. He began to live the life of vagrants and poor homeless people of all kinds, but soon found himself in their true situation, without serious work, Eric was forced to live on the streets and earn only enough to avoid starving. At that time he wrote his first book: "Down and Out in Paris and London" and was able to publish it under the pseudonym George Orwell. The book was a success, and he later wrote and published three more books in three years: "Burmese Days", "A Clergyman's Daughter" and "Keep the Aspidistra Flying". In 1937 Orwell went to Spain to report on the civil war. and, according to Judy P. Sopronyi's article "George Orwell on the Road to Nineteen Eighty-Four", he really got involved with the idea of ​​socialism, was thrilled by the idea of ​​everyone being treated as equals, and by his deep sense of Guilt that being born into the upper middle class, as he called it, he had found his cure a long time before he discovered that no matter how flawless an ideology, people could twist it brutally to make it work for their own. interests own political ambitions, his personal experience was involved in this idea, because after being loyal and fighting on the side of the republicans, he was quickly turned into an enemy for no apparent reason, and was forced to return to England to avoid the arrest..
