Orwell was endlessly interesting. A man of note that came through Eton college without right wing leanings.

His journalistic review of the state of the pit workers, their families and their economic plight in the north of England, in 'The Road to Wigan Pier' was very eye-opening.

I have Homage to Catalonia yet to read, but he was clearly impassioned, empathetic and willing, in his relatively short life.
