Orwell & controversy

Abstract

I am going to talk about one of the best-known authors of the 20th century, George Orwell. '1984' and 'Animal Farm' are considered as major pieces of anti-totalitarianism literacy, and above all as masterpieces in the British literature. It's quite interesting to look into Orwell's life, as it represents a great paradox. He seemed to be a perfect product of the British imperialist system, he got involved in different political trends, sometimes strongly opposed to the British system.
