George Orwell, whose real name was Eric Arthur Blair, was a British novelist and essayist known for his dystopian novels Animal Farm and 1984. He was born in India in 1903 and educated in England. After serving as a police officer in Burma, he became a socialist and wrote about the harsh working conditions of the poor. His experiences in the Spanish Civil War further shaped his political views. He wrote Animal Farm in 1945 as an allegory about Stalin's corruption of socialism. 1984, published in 1949, depicted a totalitarian future society and introduced terms like "Big Brother" that are still used today. Orwell aimed to expose totalitarianism through his fiction before dying of tuberculosis in 1950.
William Tyndale was the first person to translate significant portions of the Bible into English for public circulation in the early 16th century.

He introduced many familiar phrases and words into the English language through his translations. Tyndale's efforts made the Bible available to English speakers and significantly impacted both religion and language.

The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the United States and Soviet Union from the 1940s to the late 1980s. While direct military conflict was avoided due to the threat of nuclear escalation, the two nations expressed rivalry through weapons development, propaganda, and proxy wars. This tension was caused by ideological differences between capitalism and communism, as well as mutual distrust between the US, USSR, and their allies. Both sides built up massive nuclear arsenals and military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War. The Soviet Union eventually collapsed in 1991 due to economic weaknesses, ending the East-West confrontation.

2. Biografia Nome di battesimo Norma Jeane Baker, nata a Los Angeles il 1 giugno 1926. Attrice, Cantante, Modella e Produttore cinematografica statunitense. Ebbe un’infanzia molto difficile a causa dei continui spostamenti in famiglie e orfanotrofi. Ebbe molte relazioni e vari matrimoni. La sua carriera cinematografica ottenne un grandissimo successo soprattutto con il film “Some like it hot”. Morì il 5 agosto 1962 a Los Angeles e la sua morte è ancora un mistero.
3. La carriera e la Fama Marilyn lavorava presso un'industria aeronautica produttrice di paracaduti quando il fotografo David Conover, impegnato a documentare il lavoro femminile nel periodo bellico, la nota e la convince a intraprendere la carriera di modella e ad iscriversi ad una scuola specializzata. Deve decidere in fretta e in completa solitudine dato che il marito in quel momento svolgeva servizio presso la Marina militare e si trovava assai lontano da casa. Come ormai ben sappiamo, Marilyn accetta il lavoro che le cambierà il destino. Da quel momento in poi, sotto la guida di un altro fotografo, Andrè de Denes, conquista le copertine delle riviste, finché viene notata dalla Fox e le si aprono le porte di Hollywood. A vent'anni, nel 1946, divorzia, si schiarisce i capelli e si cambia il nome in Marilyn Monroe (Monroe è il cognome da nubile della madre): è la metamorfosi radicale che la porterà a divenire forse il sex-symbol del 20° secolo.
4. Nel 1953 gira ancora "Come sposare un milionario" e "Gli uomini preferiscono le bionde", con i quali si conferma una delle star più amate dal pubblico. Seguono clamorosi successi come "La magnifica preda" del 1954 e "Quando la moglie è in vacanza" in cui Billy Wilder le affida la parte della svampita inquilina del piano di sopra. La sua carriera di attrice inizia con parti da comparsa ("Ladies of the chorus" del 1949, "Love Happy" sempre del 1949 con i Marx Brothers, etc.), poi conquista piccole, ma significative, parti che la lanciano nel firmamento del cinema: nel 1950 in "Giungla d'asfalto" e in "Eva contro Eva", nel 1952 con Cary Grant e Ginger Rogers in "Monkeys Business" e altri ancora. Nel 1952 ottiene il suo primo ruolo da protagonista, nei panni di una babysitter psicolabile in "La tua bocca brucia" e nel '53 con "Niagara", al fianco di Joseph Cotten, ottiene il successo mondiale.
5. Conosce l'affermato commediografo, Arthur Miller, un intellettuale affascinante che poteva vantare la rappresentazione delle sue commedie in tutto il mondo (far cui la celeberrima "Un tram chiamato desiderio", testo originale di Tennessee Williams). Con Yves Montand nel 1960 gira "Facciamo l'amore" . Nel 1962 Marilyn riceve il Golden Globe come migliore attrice: è la conferma mondiale delle sue capacità, un misto di carisma e di appeal. Nel 1962 esce il suo ultimo film: "Gli spostati" .
6. I suoi matrimoni e le sue relazioni * Sposò James Dougherty 1942. Grace, traslocando col marito, volle che Norma Jeane si sposasse in modo da non dover tornare in orfanotrofio. Divorziarono nel 1946 . * Il 14 gennaio 1954, la loro fuga al municipio di San Francisco fu il culmine di due anni di corteggiamenti che, tramite i rotocalchi, avevano tenuto in sospeso l'intera nazione. Marilyn annunciò il suo divorzio il 27 ottobre 1954. * Successivamente sposò il celebre commediografo ebreo-americano Arthur Miller, conosciuto tempo prima ai tempi del film “ L'affascinante bugiardo” , con cerimonia civile il 29 giugno 1956 e con cerimonia ebraica due giorni dopo L‘11 novembre vi fu la separazione ufficiale fra i due e poi Marilyn ottenne il divorzio da Miller a Ciudad Juarez in Messico il 24 gennaio 1961.
7. * Ebbe una relazione con John Kennedy (futuro presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America). La relazione fu nascosta per paura di attentati al presidente. Lei per il suo complanno gli cantò “happy birthday mr President” * Marilyn frequentò anche Robert Kennedy, il fratello del presidente, e fu il suo ultimo amante. Le fonti dicono che aveva anche inizialmente promesso di sposarla e che lei incautamente andava in giro ai suoi amici dicendo che sarebbe diventata moglie di un uomo molto importante * Aristotele Onassis cercò nel 1955 una compagna per Ranieri III di Monaco fra le star di Hollywood. Con l'aiuto di George Schlee, che contattò l'editore della rivista Look Gardner Cowles, venne proposta Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn (al tempo legata a Miller), interrogata da Schlee su Ranieri (nella discussione lo chiamavano Reindeer ), rispose che non sapeva dove si trovasse il principato ma che le sarebbero bastati due giorni in sua compagnia per farsi sposare.Lui poi sposò Grace Kelly.
