  <about><![CDATA[Eric Arthur Blair, known by the pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. Noted as a novelist and critic as well as a political and cultural commentator, Orwell is among the most widely admired English-language essayists of the 20th century. He is best known for two novels critical of totalitarianism in general, and Stalinism in particular: &lt;i&gt;Animal Farm&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Nineteen Eighty-Four&lt;/i&gt;. Both were written and published towards the end of his life.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[W. Somerset Maugham, Trotsky, Dickens, H.G.
