Autor

Walter Lionel George was born on March 20, 1882, in Paris to British parents. He spent his early life in France and did not learn English until he was twenty. His paternal grandfather was Jewish. In 1905, he moved to London and began a career in journalism. His literary breakthrough came with A Bed of Roses in 1911, which examined a woman's life in prostitution and allowed him to focus on writing full-time. George became known for novels that explored feminist, pacifist, and socialist issues, often challenging societal norms. His fiction found popularity on both sides of the Atlantic, typically requiring multiple editions. In addition to novels, he wrote essays and political tracts addressing left-wing ideas. He married three times and was widowed twice. Despite his commercial success, some literary circles viewed his work critically due to its controversial subjects and journalistic tone. George was recognized by peers like George Orwell, who praised his authentic portrayal of London life. He also made early predictions about the future, many of which proved surprisingly accurate. He died on January 30, 1926, at age 43. His parents names are not publicly documented in surviving records.
