Animal Farm and 1984

"The two novels that you now hold in your hands have become 'modern classics'. . . taught in many schools as examples of moral weight and political prescience . . . read for pleasure, excitement and instruction." -- from the Introduction by Christopher Hitchens<br /><br />PRAISE FOR ANIMAL FARM<br /><br />"A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable." -- The New York Times<br /><br />"Absolutely first-rate . . . comparable to Voltaire and Swift." -- The New Yorker<br /><br />"There are no replacements for a George Orwell, just as there are no replacements for a Bernard Shaw or a Mark Twain. . . . he pricked, provoked and badgered lazy minds, delighted those who enjoyed watching an orginal intelligence at work." -- Time<br /><br />PRAISE FOR 1984<br /><br />"1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present." -- Lionel Trilling 1949<br /><br />"The most solid, the most brilliant, thing George Orwell has done." -- V.S. Pritchett
