Orwell in America

George Orwell's experiences in the Spanish Civil War profoundly influenced his writing. After being injured in combat, he penned "Homage to Catalonia," which later gained acclaim as a significant work on the conflict. Returning to England, he created "Animal Farm," an allegorical critique of the Russian Revolution, followed by his dystopian novel "1984." In this masterpiece, Orwell explores themes of perpetual war, surveillance, government oppression, and totalitarianism, embodied by the figure of Big Brother, reflecting his concerns about authoritarian regimes.
