![]() Orwell's writing career spanned nearly seventeen years. ![]() Orwell died in 1950, only a year after completing 1984, which many consider his masterpiece. His two greatest anti-totalitarian novels are Animal Farm and 1984. Orwell became a sharp critic of both capitalism and communism, and is remembered as an advocate of freedom and a committed opponent of communist oppression. He could not turn a blind eye to the cruelties and hypocrisies of Soviet Communist Party, which had replaced the semi feudal system of the tsars with the dictatorial reign of Joseph Stalin. Unlike many British socialists in the 1930s and 1940s, Orwell was not enamoured of the Soviet Union and its policies, because he didn’t consider the Soviet Union a positive representation of the possibilities of socialist society. George Orwell is the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, born in 1903 in India, during the time of the British colonial rule. ![]() Pb: How can a writer denounce the flaws of a system without namely pointing them? ![]()
