George Orwell (legal name Eric Arthur Blair) was a writer best known for his dystopian critique of totalitarianism, 1984, and his short allegorical novel, Animal Farm, a critique of Stalinist-era Soviet politics.

His work 1984 may have been influenced by Katharine Burdekin's anti-fascist novel, Swastika Night.[1]
