GEORGE ORWELL (1903 – 1950)


Hi friends, here is short life story of Great Novelist George Orwell.
George Orwell is the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, a British novelist, essayist and political writer. Born in India, he was educated in England. Being lonely and sensitive , Orwell had a very unhappy schooling; he was constantly reminded of his poverty. As soon as he completed his education in school, he took up a job in Burma Police Service. Within five years leaving his job he returned to England. The years that followed were miserable and it was during this period that Orwell worked as a part-time assistant in a London bookshop. He was accepted as a renowned writer with his publication of Animal Farm (1945), an allegorical novel. His most famous novel 1984 was published in 1949. He died a year later all of a sudden due to tuberculosis.

Bookshop Memories is about his experience in the bookshop where he had the opportunity of observing all kinds of customers, their eccentricity, taste ans snobbery. His prose style which is “like a clear running stream” is evident in this essay. To be continued….. With Regards.
