Description
The author of Animal Farm is George Orwell. His real name was Eric Arthur Blair. He was a very popular novelist, essayist, critic and journalist. His works spoke out against the social injustice that was prevalent at that time. He was in favour of democratic socialism and was opposed to totalitarianism. He continues to be held in high esteem as one of the most influential voices of his time, who spoke out about the English culture, as it was, during his lifespan.|Poverty is what I am writing about''. In the late 1920s Eric Blair resigned his post as a colonial policeman in Burma immersed himself in the slums of Paris and London and reinvented himself as George Orwell one of the most revered prose stylists in the English language. Orwell decided to write about the lives of the poor - the dishwashers of Paris the tramps of London - not by imagining poverty but by experiencing poverty. The result is a book which is as provocative and incisive about class inequalities homelessness and social prejudices today as it was when it was first published in 1933. Down and Out in Paris and London was George Orwell's first book and it remains a masterpiece of prose writing. This edition is accompanied by an introduction which examines Orwell's book for its literary social and political significance.
