George Orwell (19031950) was a British writer and publicist. It was he who introduced the term “cold war” into political language, which later received wide world use. "Funny Pounds in Paris and London" - the first major work of Orwell, which he began in 1929 and after all sorts of publicans, finally published in 1933. It is on the cover of this debut book by unknown aspiring writer Eric A. Blair first called himself George Orwell. "Days in Burma" is a tough and mocking work about the "white colonizers" of the East, united in a sense of superiority over the natives, but divided internally, exhausted by snobbery and small infighting. "The Priest's Daughter" is a fascinating story about how a simple accident can change a life beyond recognition, turning a deeply sincere Faith into a simple habit. "Long live the ficus!" and "Gloat the air" - very different, but equally witty novels, playing on the theme of the clash of a bright personality and poor-philistine ideas about happiness And, of course, the unsurpassed "1984" and "Animal Yard" .
