George Orwell holds a unique place in contemporary English literature. He used facts and his own observation and when there was no actual reporting to be done, invention took over, as in Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, and his clear vision, realistic deduction and profound understanding of human behaviour enabled him to reach the inner recesses of the reader's mind and startle him to reflection and self-examination. He said that one of his motives for writing was a 'desire to see things as they are, to find true facts and store them up for the use of posterity... In a peaceful age I might have written ornate or merely descriptive books... When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself "I am going to produce a work of art." I write it because there is some lie I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial intention is to get a hearing.'

About the Author

N� Eric Arthur Blair en Inde britannique en 1903, j'ai �t� un �crivain et journaliste britannique, profond�ment engag� contre l'imp�rialisme et les totalitarismes. Mon exp�rience, de la police coloniale en Birmanie au partage de la vie des classes laborieuses, a forg� mes convictions socialistes. J'ai combattu en Espagne aux c�t�s des R�publicains, une p�riode fondatrice de ma critique du stalinisme. J'ai d�nonc� les d�rives du pouvoir dans des essais et des r�cits souvent autobiographiques comme Hommage � la Catalogne. Je suis mondialement connu pour mes deux romans dystopiques majeurs : la satire politique La Ferme des animaux (1945). Mon chef-d'oeuvre, 1984 (1949), a cr�� le concept de � Big Brother � et l'adjectif � orwellien � pour d�crire le contr�le totalitaire.
