ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Orwell

George Orwell, pseudónimo do escritor Eric Arthur Blair, nasceu na cidade de Motihari, na então Índia britânica, a 25 de junho de 1903, tendo-se mudado para Inglaterra com a família, ainda durante a infância. Escritor e jornalista, Orwell é uma das mais influentes figuras da literatura do século xx. Defensor incondicional da liberdade humana e acérrimo opositor do totalitarismo, inscreve-se no panorama literário com as obras Dias Birmaneses (1934) e Homenagem à Catalunha (1938). Mas será, sem dúvida, com Quinta dos Animais (1945) e Mil Novecentos e Oitenta e Quatro (1949), duas narrativas com uma atualidade assombrosa, que o autor alcança o reconhecimento internacional. Morreu de tuberculose, em Londres, a 21 de janeiro de 1950.
