Knihy autora George Orwell


George Orwell vlastným menom Eric Arthur Blair (* 1903 - 1950), bol britský novinár a spisovateľ. Jeho rodina patrila do typickej strednej vrstvy. Eric mal 2 sestry - staršiu Marjorie a mladšiu Avril. Svoj pseudonym si zvolil podľa rieky Orwell, ktorá preteká jeho štátom. Intenzívne politické a sociálne nepokoje, ktoré sužovali Európu, zmenili Orwella na vášnivého socialistu, odporcu fašizmu, zástancu rovnosti a na spisovateľa. Navrhol a obhajoval rozsiahle zoštátnenie majetku, obmedzenie výsad bohatých, obmedzenie maximálnych príjmov, slobodu kolóniám, avšak úplne odmietal stalinistický socializmus. Do bojov druhej svetovej vojny sa nezapojil kvôli pretrvávajúcemu tuberkulóznemu ochoreniu, ktorému podľahol 21.januára 1950.

George Orwell je autorom kultových diel Zvieracia farma a 1984, ktoré kritizujú totalitné režimy a manipuláciu so spoločenským vedomím. Jeho tvorba sa zameriava na nespravodlivosť v rôznych formách vlády a konflikt medzi osobnou slobodou a autoritárskymi silami. Okrem týchto románov napísal aj Na dne v Paríži a Londýne a Cesta k Wigan Pier, ktoré reflektujú jeho skúsenosti s chudobou a ťažkosťami pracujúcich tried.
