People read 1984 and think they know Orwell, he wrote more than 1984 and a lot of it’s pretty good.
He grew up and spent many years on the tattered fringes of the failing British empire. Nice readable catalog that presents a realistic picture of the British psyche during that period. Fascinating stuff really. Smashing!

Wanted to get in early on the most poignant irony thread that may have ever been posted here. Also I have no comment.

I’ll bet Babylon Bee wishes they had thought of this first.

George Orwell went to Spain to fight on the side of the Communists. Needless to say he get a real education in tyranny that he later on used in his books.

“1984’’ wasn't science fiction or prophecy. "1984'' was a warning. A warning that wasn't heeded.

"George Orwell went to Spain to fight on the side of the Communists."
If I remember correctly, Orwell was an anarchist at the time , the joining the communists was the only way he could become involved.
Orwell and his wife adopted a baby, and his wife died not too long after. Orwell later died when the child was about five, but the stepson remembered Orwell with great love and gratitude for doing all the more feminine child-raising chores like changing his diapers and showing him love after the wife died. When this attack on Orwell came out, his stepson wrote an article defending his father as a good kind man.
