In Defence Of P. G. Wodehouse George Orwell WHEN the Germans made their rapid advance through Belgium in the early summer of 1940, they captured, among other things, Mr. P. G. Wodehouse, who had been living throughout the early part of the war in his villa at Le Touquet, and seems not to have realised until the last moment that he was in any danger. As he was led away into captivity, he is said to have remarked, "Perhaps after this I shall write a serious book." He was placed for the time being under house arrest, and from his subsequent statements it appears that he was treated in a fairly friendly way, German officers in the neighbourhood frequently "dropping in for a bath or a party." Over a year later, on 25th June 1941, the news came that Wodehouse had been released from internment and was living at the Adlon Hotel in Berlin. On the following day the public was astonished to learn that he had agreed to do some broadcasts of a "non-political" nature over the German radio. The full texts of these broadcasts are not easy to obtain at this date, but Wodehouse seems to have done five of them between 26th June and 2nd July, when the Germans took him off the air again. The first broadcast, on 26th June, was not made on the Nazi radio but took the form of an interview with Harry Flannery, the representative of the Columbia Broadcasting System, which still had its correspondents in Berlin. Wodehouse also published in the Saturday Evening Post an article which he had written while still in the internment camp.

Similarly researched experiences led to the writing of A Clergyman's Daughter Keep the Aspidistra Flying The Road to Wigan Pier Homage to Catalonia (1938) and The Lion and the Unicorn (1941). His experience of fighting for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War intensified his political commitment to the Left. During World War II, he was a war correspondent for the BBC and the Observer , and served as literary editor of Tribune . His intellectual honesty motivated his biting satire of Communist ideology in Animal Farm (1945) - a masterpiece which was equalled by his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), a pessimistic satire about the threat of totalitarianism and the mechanistic society of the future. Orwell suffered from tuberculosis and was in and out of hospital from 1947 until his death in 1950 at the age of forty-six.

George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language" (1946) MOST PEOPLE WHO BOTHER with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent, and our languageso the argument runsmust inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. These five passages have not been picked out because they are especially badI could have quoted far worse if I had chosenbut because they illustrate various of the mental vices from which we now suffer. They are a little below the average, but are fairly representative samples. I number them so that I can refer back to them when necessary: 1. I am not, indeed, sure whether it is not true to say that the Milton who once seemed not unlike a seventeenth-century Shelley had not become, out of an experience ever more bitter in each year, more alien [sic] to the founder of that Jesuit sect which nothing could induce him to tolerate.

70. George Orwell And The Politics Of Animal Farm At the age of eight, george orwell, then known as Eric Blair, was sent to a preparatory boarding school on the South Coast of England. http://www.his.com/phe/farm.html

George Orwell and the Politics of Animal Farm Introduction At the age of eight, George Orwell, then known as "Eric Blair," was sent to a preparatory boarding school on the South Coast of England. He called this school "Crossgates" in his autobiographical essay Such, Such Were the Joys... ; Crossgates, an expensive and snobbish school, was presided over by a husband-and-wife team of schoolmasters, nicknamed Sim and Bingo, respectively. Though Such, Such Were the Joys... is by no means a political piece of writing, it nevertheless contains references to victims, oppressors, and a highly systematized form of tyranny. In this atmosphere of constant taunting and endless competition for scholarships, Orwell developed a contempt for any type of authority. Not yet twenty years old, Orwell enlisted in the Indian Imperial Police and served in Burma for five years. During these years, Orwell witnessed Imperialism at its worst; saw hangings, floggings, and filthy prisons, and he "was forced to assert a superiority over the Burmese which he never really felt." Little economic or cultural progress was made and Orwell left this situation with the conviction that Imperialism was too evil to risk one's life for.

source url: http://www.constitution.org/orwell/1984.htm George Orwell [Eric Blair] Published: 1949 Rendered into HTML by Dag Orwell Chapter One It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran. Inside the flat a fruity voice was reading out a list of figures which had something to do with the production of pig-iron. The voice came from an oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall. Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely. He moved over to the window: a smallish, frail figure, the meagreness of his body merely emphasized by the blue overalls which were the uniform of the party. His hair was very fair, his face naturally sanguine, his skin roughened by coarse soap and blunt razor blades and the cold of the winter that had just ended.

LOCATOR: home Orwell Biography "I do not think one can assess a writer's motives without knowing something of his early development. Before he ever begins to write he will have acquired an emotional attitude from which he will never completely escape." George Orwell, "Why I Write" George Orwell is the pseudonym of Englishman Eric Arthur Blair. Orwell was born in 1903 in Motihari, a town in India approximately 25 miles south of the Nepalese border. Orwell's relatives on both sides of his family were of European origin but residents of Southeast Asia. His mother's parents were traders and lived in what was then called Burma. Both his father and grandfather were officials in the British forces that occupied India as part of the British Empire. Orwell moved back to England with his mother when he was very young. In his early schooling he was a good student, and he attended several schools on scholarshipincluding one of England's finest schools, Eton. The imperial history of his family and his experiences as a scholarship student were two important influences on Orwell's intellectual development. They helped him define himself mostly in terms of what he did not wish for himself. Cruel administrators ran the schools Orwell attended, and they were interested in tormenting and singling out the students who did not pay their own way. He eventually lost interest in traditional scholastic achievement while at Eton, and his poor performance there reflects his interest in rejecting the traditional educational path that lead to either Oxford or Cambridge. He instead decided to return to India and served for a number of years as a policeman in the Indian Imperial Police. His experiences as an officer charged with keeping the Burmese people obedient to British rule opened his eyes to the fundamental difficulties of power. In his essay, "Shooting an Elephant," he describes an incident in which he felt compelled to shoot an elephant in front of a large crown of Burmese simply to avoid looking like a fool. The real lesson, he wrote, was that when a man becomes a tyrant "it is his own freedom that he destroys."
