Theme of the Week: George Orwell

We would like to inform you that our main theme for this week will be the birthday of one of the world’s greatest authors of 20th century, George Orwell (25 June, 1903). Everyday we will post something that is related to him and his works. And we hope you will find it interesting!

Speaking of interesting: do you know what George Orwell’s real name is? And why he chose”George Orwell” as his pen name? The answer is quite simple: he chose his pen name, “George Orwell” because “George” was the patron saint of England and “Orwell” was the name of a river he liked.

Have you read his books? Which one is your favourite? Can you remember any interesting quotes or facts about him that you want to share with us?
