Why George Orwell is as relevant today as ever
He is perhaps the most influential British author of the 20th century
He contributed memorable phrases to the English language
His greatest influence beyond his two classic novels (Animal Farm & 1984) was as a prose stylist.
1984 is a reminder of the threat to democracy posed by those with power who proclaim ‘alternative facts’ and deny objective truths.

Animal Farm is an allegory
An allegory is a story in which simple characters are made to represent ideas or the ways particular types of people might behave in the real world;
They are often simple stories or fairy tales;
It is like an extended metaphor – one subject representing another;
For an allegory to be effective it must be subtle yet obvious to the reader what the object of writing is.
