---

A British novelist, born in India. His father worked as an employee in the British Civil Administration in India, and he received a scholarship from St. Cyprian's School, where he visited his family only on holidays. Orwell then joined Wellington College in Crowthorne, England, and then Eton High School. George Orwell's creative talents began to appear at an early stage, as he wrote two poems that were published in the local newspaper. When he was about to publish his first work, Down and Out in Paris and London, he had doubts about his success, so he decided to choose the name George Orwell as a pseudonym to avoid the embarrassment that the book would bring him if it failed, especially after it was rejected by publishers. Blair was inspired by the name George Orwell from British heritage, as George is Britain's greatest saint, while Orwell is the name of a river in Britain that he used to walk beside. Orwell moved with his family to several cities around the world; He benefited from his observations and experiences with other peoples' cultures in building the pillars of his stories and characters and forming a deeper idea about the common concerns of man in the modern world. While the novel (1984) was a turning point in Orwell's career, he died at the age of forty-six.
