George Orwell Time Line

June 25, 1903- George Orwell, originally named Eric Arthur Blair, was born

1927- Blair retires from the Indian Imperial Police and decides to become a writer

1933- "Down and Out in Paris and London" was published. Blair changes his name to George Orwell
This particular book was written in the time in which George Orwell wasn't receiving much luck in his writing career and all so he just wrote his experiences which became this book.

1934- "Burmese Days" is published; this is his first Novel

1936- Orwell was recruited to write about poverty among unemployed minors in Northern England; Orwell travels to Spain to fight for the Republicans against Franco's Nationalists

1937- "The Road to Wigan Pier"

1943- Orwell becomes the literary editor for the Tribune

1945- Orwell's "Animal Farm" gets Published
This book talks about Stalin's betrayal in the Russian Revolution. The reason that this book is such an important part of Orwell's life is that it is what first got Orwell's name out there. This also ensured that Orwell would be financially comfortable for the first time in his life.

1949- Orwell's "1984" gets published

January 21, 1950- George Orwell dies of tuberculosis
In this stage of his life, Orwell's health was starting to deteriorate after merely a year after his famous "1984" got published.
