	George Orwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The former is an allegory of the corruption of the socialist ideals of the Russian Revolution by Stalinism, and the latter is Orwell's prophetic vision of the results of totalitarianism.
		Orwell had returned from Catalonia a staunch anti-Stalinist and anti-Communist, but he remained to the end a man of the left and, in his own words, a "democratic socialist".
		Orwell's descent into the lives of the poor in "The Road to Wigan Pier" strongly resembles that of Jack London's "The People of the Abyss", in which London disguises himself as a poverty stricken American sailor in order to investigate the lives of the poor in London.

		Orwell's scripts were broadcast to the people of India between the end of 1941 and early 1943.

	Nineteen Eighty-Four - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some have suggested that Orwell simply switched the last two digits of the year in which he wrote the book (1948), but others have suggested that it may also have been an allusion to the centenary of the Fabian Society, a socialist organization founded in 1884.

		Orwell supposed that the sufficient mental energy for prolonged worship requires the respression of a vital instinct, such as the sex instinct.

	Animalism vs. Marxism
		Orwell, however, for reasons such as the omitted portion of his preface and misreadings of his novels, has been mislabeled a traitor of Socialism or a hero to the right wing by theorists and critics.
		Orwell's use of satire in the form of a "fairy story,² as he calls it on its title page, to get his point across shows his indignation for hard-core ideological doctrines whose purposes are to lead to the eventual destruction of a society.
		Orwell's Animalism shares many of the same beliefs as Marxism, but its political goals are not as extreme, its trust in revolution is not as confident and its (Orwell's) forecast of the future is not as utopian as Marx's.

	Orwell, George
		In the latter, he showed that the domestic murder story, which seemed a naive representation of brutal actuality, in fact obeyed the rules of a consistent form, which was also the bearer of a defensible set of values (see Cultural Studies).
		The unexpectedness of Orwell's evaluations emerges directly from his moral and political categories, in particular, from a charity toward political enemies that sometimes verges on self-hatred.
		Often, respite from strenuous moral conscientiousness is embodied for Orwell not in art itself--he vacillates endlessly on the issue of art's autonomy from propaganda--but specifically in the pastness of past art.

		A member of the Independent Labour Party, Orwell felt impelled to fight as an infantryman in the anti-Stalinist POUM (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification) during the Spanish Civil War.
		Orwell's motives for this are unclear, though it does not necessarily follow that he had abandoned the democratic socialism that he consistently promoted - merely that he detested Stalinism, as he had already made very clear in his earlier published works.
		Aldous Huxley was Orwell's teacher for a semester early in his Eton career.

		Orwell spent the first half of 1937 fighting with the Loyalists in Spain, where he was shot in the throat by a fascist sniper, and where he witnessed the brutal Communist suppression of the revolutionary parties in the Republican alliance.
		Orwell was a brilliant and cultured man, with an Eton accent and an anomalous, vaguely French mustache, who wore the same beat-up tweed jacket nearly every day, made (very badly) his own furniture, and lived, most of the time, one step up from squalor.

		Orwell was wounded, and, when the Communists attempted to eliminate their allies on the far left, fought against them and was forced to flee for his life.
		Orwell's two best-known books reflect his lifelong distrust of autocratic government, whether of the left or right: Animal Farm (1945), a modern beast-fable attacking Stalinism, and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), a dystopian novel setting forth his fears of an intrusively bureaucratized state of the future.
		Orwell's reputation rests not only on his political shrewdness and his sharp satires but also on his marvelously clear style and on his superb essays, which rank with the best ever written.

	ANIMAL FARM - George Orwell
		George Orwell is most famous for his books Animal Farm (published in 1945) and 1984 (published in 1949).

	Orwell's Preface to Animal Farm
		George Orwell was the pseudonym of English author Eric Arthur Blair, born in 1903 in Bengal, where his father worked for the Opium Department of the Government of India.
		Orwell also wrote six fictional novels, including Animal Farm (1945) and the chock-full-of-neologisms 1984 (1949), as well as a number of essay collections and an account of his involvement in the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia (1938).
		It is "ironic" that the particular example of self-censorship Orwell referred to in the essay was the refusal of the left-wing and liberal press of the time to publish criticism of the Soviet Union - not a major feature of Western media orthodoxy in later years.

		As she recorded in her official memorandum of their meeting, Orwell "expressed his whole-hearted and enthusiastic approval of our aims." He couldn't write anything for IRD himself, he said, because he was too ill and didn't like to write "on commission," but he suggested several people who might.

		Orwell tried to depict a totalitarian state, where the truth didn't exist as such, but was merely what the "Big Brother" said it was.
		Orwell got in right back in 1948, and although he was primarily referring to the "red menace" of his era, the tactics used by suppressive governments are tempting for any government because of the control such tactics provide, liberties be damned.
