George Orwell is perhaps best known for his two anti-Stalinist novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four, both of which are often misused as a warning against socialism of any kind. But this obscures Orwell''s own radical socialist politics. This short introduction to Orwell''s life and his writings argues that he remained committed to international socialism and the need for revolutionary change until the end of his life.
