Website on George Orwell launched

The website showcases details about the one-storied house where Orwell, best known for the dystopian novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' and the allegorical novella 'Animal Farm', was born and lived for sometime.

His photographs and related materials are also on display.

The details of local people who strived hard to protect the birth place of the 20th century's best chronicler of English culture over the years too have been put up on the website.

The website 'www.Birthplaceofgeorgeorwell' was launched by the Rotary Motihari Lake Town club - a unit of the Rotary International Club - at a function here, the local club President Devpriya Mukherjee said.
