Riassunto: | This research aims to demonstrate how the British writer George Orwell conceived and positioned himself against any political and social anomaly that jeopardized human freedom in the 20th century. Orwell's literature encompasses various genres in prose. Essays, reviews, chronicles, letters, diaries, fiction - in almost all of them, a strong social critique of his time is evident. In most of these works, the author addresses the issue that seems to be at the core of the problem presented, the fight against totalitarianism and how governments like these subject their people to serious violations of fundamental human rights. We will show how Orwell positioned himself against any political form that exceeded its democratic prerogatives, not only acting in the intellectual field but often in an effective and practical manner. This personal characteristic made him not just a mere spectator but an important agent of change in the reality he lived in. |
