'''George Orwell''' is the pen name of '''Eric Arthur Blair''' (June 25, 1903 - January 21, 1950), an open-minded, leading English [[democratic socialist]] writer, essayist and journalist who became increasingly critical of his ideological allies. He grew increasingly [[conservative]] among democratic socialists. "There are nevertheless four aspects of Orwell's later work which are more closely linked to conservative than to left-wing styles of thinking."<ref>http://revel.unice.fr/cycnos/document.html?id=1391</ref>

Contrary to most writers, Orwell's greatest works came late in his life. He harshly criticized communism and totalitarianism in ''[[1984]]'', which was thought by many to be his finest novel. His short story named ''[[Animal Farm]]'' was an allegorical reference to the Russian Revolution and a frightening tale of how people can change the meaning of words and commandments over time to suit a totalitarian regime. These works were far more influential than his first novel, based on his experiences on the Imperial Police Force in Burma, ''[[Burmese Dаys]]'', which explored the evils of [[coloniаlism]].
