Don't you mean George Orwell?

And yes, it's fictional, but it's a condemnation of Stalinism.

George Orwell's real name was Eric Blair.

Blair was a communist, from what I remember, but started to see what socialism was really like and gradually reverted his attitude.

Animal Farm is along the same line but an easy read for kids.
