“Animal Farm remains our great satire on the darker face of modern
history.” –Malcolm Bradbury
“As lucid as glass and quite as sharp…[Animal Farm] has the double
meaning, the sharp edge, and the lucidity of Swift.” –Atlantic
Monthly
“A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times.” –New
York Times
“Orwell has worked out his theme with a simplicity, a wit, and a
dryness that are close to La Fontaine and Gay, and has written in a
prose so plain and spare, so admirably proportioned to his purpose,
that Animal Farm even seems very creditable if we compare it with
Voltaire and Swift.” –Edmund Wilson, The New Yorker
“Orwell’s satire here is amply broad, cleverly conceived, and
delightfully written.” –San Francisco Chronicle
“The book for everyone and Everyman, its brightness undimmed after
fifty years.” –Ruth Rendell
With an Introduction by Julian Symons
