Synopsis "Orwell Periodista (in Spanish)"

Esta colección de artículos y reseñas son tan vivaces como lo fueron en el momento en que fueron escritos. Sus colaboraciones modelaron el Observer y siguen influyendo en muchos periodistas.George Orwell puede ser considerado como uno de los mejores analistas políticos y críticos literarios del siglo XX. George Orwell, alias literario de Eric Blair, escribió novelas y ensayos en los años treinta, durante los cuales publicó su primer libro, Down and Out in Paris and London (1933) y The Road to Wigan Pier (1937). En 1938 publicó Homage to Catalonia (Homenaje a Cataluña), un relato de sus experiencias en la guerra civil española, en la que combatió a favor de las fuerzas leales a la República. Sin embargo, hasta la aparición de Animal Farm (Rebelión en la granja) y Nineteen Eighty-four(1984), publicadas en 1945 y 1949 respectivamente, consiguió fama como novelista. Tambien se considera a Orwell fundamentalmente como un analista político que a lo largo de su carrera colaboró en periódicos y revistas como el Tribune, el Observer y el Manchester Evening news. Con su columna "As I Please" (A mi manera) colaboró en el periódico de tendencia izquierdista Tribune, en el que fue nombrado editor literario en noviembre de 1943. Continuó escribiendo artículos y reseñas de libros hasta prácticamente su muerte el 21 de enero de 1950.

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
