Review Quotes: "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
