Ciao a tutti!
Hello everyone!

Let me introduce myself!
I'm George Orwell!
Nice to meet you! :)
CURIOSITY!
The name George Orwell is a pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair.
I was born in India on 25 June 1903.
I conducted my studies in England and returned to India afterwards.
..where i took up service in the imperial guard!
TOOK UP SERVICE: PRENDERE SERVIZIO
Then, I spent a period of my life between London...
...and Paris! 
During this period, 
in my work as a journalist and as a novelist,
 I described the desperate situation of the unemployed and the poorer classes in general.
UNEMPLOYED AND THE POORER CLASSES means DISOCCUPATI E CLASSI PIU' POVERE
Then, I  also took part in the Spanish civil war.
And this allowed me to develop my own very well-defined ideologies.
In fact, I was against any kind of totalitarianism!
My life ended at the age of 46 on 21 January 1950.
But, DON'TWORRY!
I lived a full and adventurous life! 
...and I have written several works including...
1984 and..
Animal Farm.
1984 is an important text, where I describe a dystopian society...
..entirely commanded by a superior entity called:
The "Big Brother" is a mysterious character that keeps a watchful eye on the lives of citizens, using special telescreens.
The story is set in a future London, at a time when the city is in total decay.
Animal Farm, on the other hand,  is a political satire on tyranny.
But let's find out more through the Book Creator!
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
BYE BYE :)
