Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair on 25 June 1903 in eastern India, the son of a British
colonial civil servant. He was educated in England and, after he left Eton, joined the Indian
Imperial Police in Burma, then a British colony. He resigned in 1927 and decided to become a
writer. In 1928 he moved to Paris where lack of success as a writer forced him into a series of
menial jobs.
An anarchist in the late 1920s, in the 1930s he began to consider himself a socialist. Late in
1936, Orwell travelled to Spain to fight for the Republicans against Franco's Nationalists.
Between 1941 and 1943, Orwell worked on propaganda for the BBC. In 1943, he became
literary editor of the Tribune, a weekly left-wing magazine. By now he was a prolific

journalist, writing articles, reviews and books.
In 1945, Orwell's 'Animal Farm' was published. A political fable set in a farmyard but based
on Stalin's betrayal of the Russian Revolution, it made Orwell's name and ensured he was
financially comfortable for the first time in his life. 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' was published four
years later. Set in an imaginary totalitarian future, the book made a deep impression, with its
title and many phrases - such as 'Big Brother is watching you', 'newspeak' and 'doublethink' -
entering popular use. However, Orwell's health was deteriorating and he died of tuberculosis
on 21 January 1950
