About the Author

George Orwell, the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, was a British novelist, essayist, and journalist whose incisive critiques of totalitarianism and social injustice continue to resonate worldwide. Born in 1903 in India and educated in England, Orwell served in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma before turning to writing full-time. His experiences fueled his disdain for imperialism and authoritarianism, themes central to his oeuvre. Despite chronic health issues, including tuberculosis that claimed his life in 1950, Orwell produced enduring works that blend sharp satire with profound moral insight. Translated into numerous languages, his writings, including the bilingual edition of Animal Farm, remain essential reading for understanding the perils of power and the fragility of freedom.
