He attended Eton, but his family could not pay for university, so in 1922 he joined the Indian Imperial Police. He came to hate imperialism, and when he returned to England in 1927 he decided to resign and become a writer. In the spring of 1928, he moved to Paris, hoping to make a living as a freelance writer. His lack of success reduced Blair to taking menial jobs as a dishwasher for a few weeks, principally in a fashionable hotel (the Hotel X), which he later described in his fi rst book, Down and Out in Paris and London. Ill and penniless, he moved back to England in 1929. Writing what became Burmese Days, he made frequent forays into tramping as part of what had by now become a book project on the life of the poorest people in society. Blair completed Down and Out in 1932, and it was published early the next year. Blair adopted the pen name George Orwell just before Down and Out was published. In early 1936, Orwell was commissioned to write an account of poverty among the working class in the depressed areas of northern England, which appeared in 1937 as The Road to Wigan Pier. He was taken into many houses, simply saying that he wanted to see how people lived. Soon after completing his research for the book, Orwell married Eileen O’Shaughnessy. In December 1936, Orwell travelled to Spain to fi ght for the Republican side against Fascists. Orwell sympathetically describes the egalitarian spirit of revolutionary Barcelona when he arrived in Homage to Catalonia. His experiences, in particular his and his wife’s narrow escape from the Communist purges in Barcelona in June 1937, made him a life-long anti-Stalinist and a fi rm believer in what he termed Democratic Socialism.  \nOrwell took a job at the BBC Eastern Service in 1941, supervising broadcasts to India aimed at stimulating Indian interest in the war effort. He was well aware that he was engaged in propaganda, and wrote that he felt like “an orange that’s been trodden on by a very dirty boot”. Despite the good salary, he resigned in September 1943. In 1944, Orwell fi nished his anti-Stalinist allegory Animal Farm. The royalties from Animal Farm were to provide Orwell with a comfortable income for the fi rst time in his adult life. During 1945, while Orwell was sick in Cologne, Eileen died in Newcastle during surgery. For the next four years Orwell mixed journalistic work with writing his best-known work, Nineteen Eighty-Four, which was published in 1949. In October 1949, shortly before his death, he married Sonia Brownell.  \nGEORGE ORWELL Nineteen Eighty-Four  \nTitle: Nineteen Eighty-Four  \nAuthor: George Orwell (pseudonym of Eric Blair) (1903–1950) A Project Gutenberg of Australia eBook, typeset [by readng.com](by readng.com)  \neBook No.: 0100021.txt  \nLanguage: English  \nDate fi rst posted: August 2001  \nDate most recently updated: August 2001  \nProject Gutenberg of Australia eBooks are created from printed editions which are in the public domain in Australia, unless a copyright notice is included.
