《一九八四》和《动物农场》是奥威尔的传世之作,堪称世界文坛上最著名的政治讽喻小说。在文中奥威尔刻画了一个令人感到窒息和恐怖的,以追逐权力为最终目标的假想的极权主义社会,通过对这个社会中一个普通人生活的细致刻画,揭示了任何形式下的极权主义必将导致人民甚至整个国家成为悲剧。 在小说中他创造的“老大哥”、“双重思想”、“新话”等词汇都已收入权威的英语词典,甚至由他的姓衍生了一个形容词“奥威尔式”不断出现在报道国际新闻的记者笔下,足见其作品在英语国家影响之深远。

本书诚实但又不失风趣地记录了作为人类学家的作者在非洲喀麦隆多瓦悠人村落两次进行田野工作的经历，将人类学家如何克服乏味、灾难、生病与敌意的真实田野生活拍案叫绝地呈现在读者面前。 不同于一般的人类学研究报告，这是一部令人捧腹不止的人类学笔记，透过幽默的笔调，读者看到了人类学者如何与研究对象进行互动，在互动中如何调整他的学术成见，以及田野工作上的琐事如何影响后来研究结果、研究的盲点与反思。因此不管是严肃的读者、无聊地只想打发时间或者是向往非洲原始部落的异国情调而蠢蠢欲动的旅人，巴利这本书绝对是一个有趣的选择。
