George Orwell

On June 25, 1903, author George Orwell was born in Motihari, India. Best known for his novels Animal Farm and 1984, Orwell frequently included themes of social injustice and addressed the major political movements of his times in his works. His writings continue to influence popular and political culture as the term “Orwellian,” descriptive of totalitarian social practices, and several of his neologisms, such as “Big Brother,” have become apart of today’s vernacular.
