George Orwell, born Eric Blair in India in 1903, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. He is known for his visionary works such as Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four, as well as his non-fiction classics Down and Out in Paris in London, The Road to Wigan Pier, and Homage to Catalonia.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” ― Charles Dickens
