Born in Bengal in 1903, George Orwell's diverse experiences shaped his literary voice. Educated at Eton, he served in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma before spending two years in Paris. Returning to England, he held various jobs, including private tutor and bookshop assistant. His involvement in the Spanish Civil War left him wounded, and during World War II, he worked as a Talks Producer for the BBC's Indian Service. He later became the literary editor of Tribune, leaving a lasting impact on literature until his death in 1950.
