"If liberty means anything, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

This quote comes from the preface of a book by Eric Arthur Blair – an English author better known by most as George Orwell. In his lifetime, Orwell wrote six novels and hundreds of articles, the most celebrated being Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm.

A democratic socialist, he was deeply opposed to totalitarianism and aware of social injustice, as reflected in his works. His writing remains as pertinent today as it did when he was alive: in 2017, shortly after the US presidential inauguration of Donald Trump, sales of Nineteen Eighty-Four rose dramatically, and it’s remained a best-seller since.
