Penguin Books Nineteen Eighty-Four Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born 1903 in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. The family moved to England in 1907 and in 1917 Orwell entered Eton, where he contributed regularly to the various college magazines. He left in 1921 and joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma the following year. He resigned in 1928 having come to hate imperialism, as Burmese Days (1934) his first novel shows. After this he lived for several years in poverty, at times among tramps, experiences which he relates in Down and Out in Paris and London (1933).
For a time he worked as a schoolteacher but due to poor health he gave this up and worked as a part-time assistant in a Hampstead bookshop; later he was able to earn his living reviewing novels for the New English Weekly, a post he kept until 1940.
In 1936 he visited areas of mass unemployment in Lancashire and Yorkshire and The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) is a powerful description of the poverty he saw there. At the end of 1936 Orwell went to Spain to fight for the Republicans and was wounded; his account of the civil war, Homage to Catalonia, is considered by many to be his greatest achievement. During the Second World War he was a member of the Home Guard and worked for the BBC Eastern Service from 1940 to 1943. As literary editor of Tribune he contributed a regular contributor to the Manchester E ving News. His unique political allegory, Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought Orwell world-wide fame.
