George Orwell (1903-1950) is important because he was an author who made significant contributions to literature during his short lifetime. Orwell wrote six novels, four documentary studies, and hundreds of essays in which he demonstrated his unique imagination as well as his incredible talent for writing prose. He is most well known for two of his novels, 1984 and Animal Farm, both of which continue to inspire readers even after Orwell's death.
It can be said that Orwell influenced writing styles with his clear and simplistic style of prose. He wrote, "Good prose is like a windowpane. It hides nothing." (Rossi) This quote encompasses Orwell's attitude toward his precise style of writing.
Orwell is also known for the attention-grabbing first sentences of his literary works. He is able to grab the reader's attention with his catchy first sentences, and keep his reader's interest with his clear style of writing.
Even sixty years after his death, Orwell remains a prominent figure in the world of literature. Many of his works are still being printed today so that they can be read and enjoyed by many people.
