De 1941 a 1943, Orwell fut engage par le service indien de la BBC destine a porter une bonne parole culturelle et politique aux sujets du bon roi George VI du sous-continent asiatique. Esprit libre entre tous, Orwell se passionna rapidement pour sa tache. Du cote culturel, il s'attacha a faire mieux connaitre des auteurs comme Jack London, Jonathan Swift, Bernard Shaw, Shakespeare ou Oscar Wilde. Il improvisa des dialogues autour d'oeuvres d'Anatole France et H. G. Wells. Du cote politique, il tint une chronique hebdomadaire commentant la situation militaire sur le front de l'Est. Cette experience lui fit prendre conscience de l'importance de la propagande dans le monde contemporain. Elle est directement a l'origine des deux chefs-d'oeuvre qu'il ecrivit ensuite: La ferme des animaux et 1984. A travers ces ecrits de circonstance, on retrouve le genie d'Orwell a l'etat originel.

एनिमल फार्म (Animal Farm) अंग्रेज उपन्]यासकार जॉर्ज ऑरवेल की कालजयी रचना है। बीसवीं सदी के महान अंग्रेज उपन्]यासकार जॉर्ज ऑरवेल ने अपनी इस कालजयी कृति में सुअरों को केन्]द्रीय चरित्र बनाकर बोलशेविक क्रांति की विफलता पर करारा व्]यंग्]य किया था। अपने आकार के लिहाज से लघु उपन्]यास की श्रेणी में आनेवाली यह रचना पाठकों के लिए आज भी उतनी ही असरदार है। एनिमल फार्म 1917 की रूसी क्रांति तक की घटनाओं का एक राजनीतिक रूपक है, क्योंकि स्टालिन सोवियत सत्ता हासिल की थी। उन्होंने जोसेफ स्टालिन और लियोन त्रोटस्की को सूअरों के रूप में दर्शाया है, जो वे अपने खेत के मित्रों को कार्ल मार्क्स के कम्युनिस्टों के आदर्शों को रोजगार देने की कोशिश करते हैं, जो वे पशु फार्म से निकलते हैं और कॉल करते हैं। नेपोलियन (स्टालिन) जल्द ही स्नोबॉल (ट्रॉट्स्की) को उखाड़ देता है और उसे एक बलि का बकरा बनाता है, जो वह अपनी शक्ति बनाए रखने के लिए आसानी से उपयोग करता है 1984 नागरिकों के दिमाग और जीवन पर सरकार को अधिक नियंत्रण रखने की अनुमति देने के खतरों के बारे में एक गंभीर चेतावनी है। एनीमल फॉर्म उपन्यास साम्यवादी क्रांति आन्दोलन के इतिहास में आई भ्रष्टता को नंगा करता हुआ दर्शाता है कि ऐसे आंदोलन के नेतृत्व में प्रवेश कर गयी स्वार्थपरता, लोभ-मोह तथा बहुत-सी अच्छी बातों से किनाराकशी किस प्रकार आदर्शो के स्वप्न-राज्य (यूटोपिया) को खंडित कर सारे सपनों को बिखेर देती है। मुक्ति आंदोलन जिस उद्देश्य की प्राप्ति के लिए किया गया था, सर्वहारा वर्ग को सत्ता हस्तांतरित करने के लिए, उस उद्देश्य से भटक कर वह बहुत त्रासदायी बन जाता है। एनिमल फॉर्म का गणतंत्र इन्हीं सरोकारों पर अपनी व्यवस्था को केंद्रित करते हैं। पशुओं के बाडे का पशुवाद (एनीमलिज्म) वस्तुत सोवियत रूस के 1910 से 1940 की

Orwell is well-known for his novels: 1984 and a satire, Animal Farm. Down and Out in Paris and London is his memoir where he pens down his life as a penniless writer in two cities: Paris and England. Through his beautiful phrases, meticulous, honest, and vivid experiences of searching for work and spending nights on benches, he blends the testimonies of others of his kind on the streets of London and Paris. The book both illuminates the huge change between 1933 and now, and exposes horrifying similarities. Job insecurity is still a major driver of homelessness nearly 90 years later. This is just an important read now as it was back then.
A Clergyman's Daughter is a 1935 novel by English author George Orwell. It tells the story of Dorothy Hare, the clergyman's daughter of the title, whose life is turned upside down when she suffers an attack of amnesia. Orwell draws a picture of systematic forces that preserve the bound servitude in each setting. He uses Dorothy's fictitious endeavours to criticise certain institutions... the English private-school system; the way in which wages are systematically lowered as the hop season progressed and why they were so low to begin with; and the life and attitude of the manual seasonal labourer.
Burmese Days is George Orwell's first novel, and a searing critique of British imperialism. It is notable for deriving its plot and themes from the events of Orwell's own life. Orwell draws on his years of experience in India to tell this story of the waning days of British imperialism. A handful of Englishmen living in a settlement in Burma congregate in the European Club, drink whiskey, and argue over an impending order to admit a token Asian. This is a brilliant and insightful story centred o
