 | | Jacintha Buddicom reveals that Eric Blair was an aloof and undemonstrative boy, self-sufficient and lacking the herd instinct, he required no wide circle of friends. |
 | | Orwell (1903-50), born Eric Blair, educated at Eton, spent five years in Burma before becoming a ``tramp,'' an experience he described in Down and Out in Paris and London (1933). |
 | | He worked as a tutor, a bookshop clerk, a grocer, a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, and a BBC commentator and journalist, but mostly as a writer who turned out reams of personal and literary essays and, to avoid libel, disguised his political commentary in fiction such as Animal Farm. |
