Before I start, I want to say a few words about this release. I thank everyone who answered me and shared with me their favorite works and tastes. More than 30 people participated, which I think is more than normal. 1) I was making such a large volume for the first time (do not judge strictly) 2) I decided to divide the issue into general and individual about each. I'll release the general one first. 3) At the very beginning, there will be a popular choice of readers and so on gradually. 4) If you did not find yourself in a large volume, then you did not have 1 rating at the time when I interviewed you and that's why it happened, but if you have any desires, I can specify individually. 5) I did not put users from the one who answered first to the last. 6) If users have not written enough books, they will come out with others. 7) What avatar or nickname did the user have and put it, if provocative, then do not go into conflict. 8) I will also supplement the issue with a short biography and books of writers who have been published. 9) If something else appears later in time, then I will add information at your request, but in a separate issue. 10) Thank you for reading this issue.

As a child, Orwell attended an expensive private school. He hated her and later wrote an essay with an ironic story "About the joy of childhood", in which he vividly described everything he had experienced. From a young age, he studied French (which is interesting from Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World). While living in India and working for the Imperial Police, he learned Burmese until he was able to speak fluently with the locals in the higher dialects. He also learned Greek, Spanish, as well as Latin and German. During the writing of "1984", while living in Scotland, Orwell almost drowned while on a boat trip. He took his son, as well as his niece and nephew to Korriverkan Bay in the western part of the country. There, at the site of the third largest whirlpool in the world, a small boat capsized. Fortunately, everyone survived. In his youth, when he served in the Indian Imperial Police for five years, Orwell had small tattoos on every joint. The tattoos were simple little blue shapes, usually circular in shape. It's not entirely clear why he made them, but some scientists believe the tattoos were part of a Burmese superstition that suggested they protected the wearer from being shot. Other authors have put forward another theory that Orwell simply made them stand out from other soldiers. During his time in the police, he was noted as a loner, characterized by a desire to spend time reading and writing.
