Notă biografică

Dados pessoais: George Orwell nasceu em Motihari, na Bengala, perto da fronteira com o Nepal, no ano de 1903.Na época, essa localidade pertencia à Índia Britânica. O nome verdadeiro do escritor era Eric Arthur Blair. Educado próximo de Oxford e Londres, o jovem Eric iniciou a vida adulta trabalhando na polícia imperial da Inglaterra sendo enviado para lugares insalubres, de colônias inglesas no exterior. Contraiu dengue e precisou voltar para a Inglaterra, em 1927. Foi quando decidiu mudar de vida e se tornar jornalista e escritor. Morador de rua, vida em paris e atuação na revolução espanhola foram algumas das experiências de Orwell, que morreu aos 46 anos de tuberculose.
