Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, Raj Británico, 25 de junio de 1903-Londres, Reino Unido, 21 de enero de 1950),12 más conocido por su seudónimo de George Orwell, fue un novelista, periodista, ensayista y crítico británico nacido en la India, conocido mundialmente por su novelas distópicas Rebelión en la granja (1945) y 1984 (1949).
Su obra lleva la marca de las experiencias autobiográficas vividas por el autor en tres etapas de su vida: su posición en contra del imperialismo británico que lo llevó al compromiso como representante de las fuerzas del orden colonial en Birmania durante su juventud; a favor del socialismo democrático, después de haber observado y sufrido las condiciones de vida de las clases sociales de los trabajadores de Londres y París; y en contra de los totalitarismos nazi y estalinista tras su participación en la guerra civil española.
