“Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.”

English writer and journalist of the 20th century, Orwell is best known for his dystopian novels *Nineteen Eighty-Four* and *Animal Farm*, which critique totalitarianism and power. His essays on politics, language, and society remain influential for their clarity and moral urgency.
