And given the state of our modern-day world (and the return of his dystopian classic 1984 to best-seller lists after the 2016 election), it's safe to say his works are as relevant as ever. Whether he was criticizing totalitarian governments, classism, or poverty, his books pointed out ugly-but-important truths about 20th-century life. We also have him to thank for words like “newspeak,” "doublespeak," “Big Brother” and even "bellyfeel." What were George Orwell's most famous novels about?Ī democratic socialist, Orwell never hesitated to express his political beliefs through his writing. Born Eric Arthur Blair in 1903, George Orwell has had a substantial impact on both popular culture and the literary world-you know you've made it when people use your last name as an adjective (see: "Orwelllian"). It's not an exaggeration to say George Orwell books have changed American society as we know it.
