A proposito di questo titolo
Tomorrow is the birth date of famous dystopian British writer George Orwell. In this episode find out more about his interesting and unusual life and his passion for writing, freedom and raising awareness about life in poverty. I'll also be reading a little from the book.
George Orwell’s 1984 isn’t just a novel—it’s a warning about historical erasure, surveillance, and authoritarian control. Orwell’s writing has never been more relevant, especially in a world where truth is constantly being rewritten.
🌍 In this video, we discuss:
- Orwell’s life & why his experiences shaped his writing
- How totalitarian regimes manipulate history
- The eerie parallels between 1984 and today
- What Orwell’s work teaches us about freedom & truth
Today's video is great for practicing your English listening skills, and has some interesting vocabulary such as:
Homage - something done in honour of someone.
Tramp - someone who is usually living on the street
Pen name - also known as nom de plume or pseudonym, is a fake name created by an author to hide their identity
