George Orwell

George Orwell, born Eric Blair, was a writer who turned his sharp eye on political oppression, crafting classics like 1984 and Animal Farm. With a life spent as a colonial officer, journalist, and soldier, he experienced the dark side of power firsthand, which fueled his biting critiques of totalitarianism. Despite his serious subjects, Orwell’s wit and clear-eyed honesty make him a reminder that sometimes the truth isn’t just stranger than fiction—it’s scarier too.
