George Orwell holds a unique place in contemporary English literature. He used facts and his own observation and when there was no actual reporting to be done, invention took over, as in Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, and his clear vision, realistic deduction and profound understanding of human behaviour enabled him to reach the inner recesses of the reader’s mind and startle him to reflection and self-examination. He said that one of his motives for writing was a ‘desire to see things as they are, to find true facts and store them up for the use of posterity… In a peaceful age I might have written ornate or merely descriptive books… When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself I am going to produce a work of art. I write it because there is some lie I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial intention is to get a hearing.
