In 1933, Orwell gave up teaching and spent almost a year in Southwold writing his next book, Burmese Days. In 1929, he moved to London, again living in what he termed "fairly severe poverty." These experiences provided the material for his first novel, Down and Out in Paris and London, which he placed with a publisher in 1933.Ībout this time, while Orwell was teaching in a small private school in Middlesex, he came down with his first bout of pneumonia due to tuberculosis, a condition would plague him throughout his life and require hospitalization again in 1938, 1947, and 1950.
In 1928, Orwell moved to Paris and began a series of low paying jobs. Orwell moved to Burma in 1922, where he served as an Assistant Superintendent of Police for five years before he resigned because of his growing dislike for British Imperialism. At Eton, he came into contact with liberalist and socialist ideals, and it was here that his initial political views were formed. Because literature was not an accepted subject for boys at the time, Orwell studied the master writers and began to develop his own writing style. Orwell's first published work, the poem "Awake Young Men of England," was printed in the Henley and South Oxfordshire Standard when he was eleven years old. However, the young Orwell had a gift for writing, which he recognized at the age of just five or six. The Orwell family was not wealthy, and, in reading Orwell's personal essays about his childhood, readers can easily see that his formative years were less than satisfying. Young Orwell was brought to England by his mother and educated in Henley and Sussex at schools. George Orwell is the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, born in 1903 in Motihari, Bengal, India, during the time of the British colonial rule.
