English Author and Journalist born Eric Arthur Blair; best known for
his allegorical novella, Animal Farm (1945), and dystopian novel,
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). In 2008,

descriptive of totalitarian or authoritarian social practices — has

Cold War, Big Brother, thought police, doublethink, and thoughtcrime.
