George Orwell (born Eric Blair, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, died Jan 1950, London) was a leading British writer of the twentieth century. He studied at Wellington College and Eton (1917-1921) where he was a King's Scholar. After Eton, he followed family tradition and joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, until 1927 when, disgusted by imperialism, he resigned to pursue his boyhood dream of being a writer. Orwell was a prolific journalist, essayist, novelist and nonfiction writer. He is remembered for his prescient writing and his unwavering commitment to truth and clarity of expression. His last two novels--Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four--have placed him at the pinnacle of British literature. He has been called \"not the best, but the most important writer who ever lived.\" (The Economist, 2023)","brand":"Benediction Classics","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53915352924502,"sku":"9781849028363-V","price":9.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781849028363_1.jpg?v=1781883276","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/george-orwell-politics-and-the-english-language-and-other-essays-paperback-9781849028363","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
