Eric Blair, the son of an Opium Agent in Bengal, embarked on a journey of education in England, specifically at the esteemed Eton College in 1921. He subsequently pursued a career in the British Imperial Police in Burma, serving diligently until 1927. Following his tenure in law enforcement, Blair, driven by his passion for writing, embarked on a series of odysseys across England and Europe, engaging in various odd jobs to support his literary endeavors. By 1935, he had adopted the pen name George Orwell and had successfully penned his first novels. In 1936, he exchanged vows and began a new chapter in his life with his beloved wife. The following year, Orwell and his wife took up arms against the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War, fighting bravely for a noble cause. Throughout his illustrious career, Orwell produced an impressive body of work, comprising approximately 3000 pages of essays and newspaper articles, as well as several books and programs for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
