Animal Farm (1945)

-

by George Orwell



A concise, palatable explication of how communism can "evolve" (?) into totalitarianism.

 


It entertains as it instructs and manages to evoke a sense of genuine anger against the oppressors that a drier treatment would not achieve.

Sprague de Camp.   Lin Carter These two gentlemen deserve praise for helping to reintroduce Conan to modern audiences with the Lancer series of the 60s and 70s.  L. Sprague de Camp However, as much as they may have appreciated the character and world that Robert E. Howard created, they didn’t seem to understand that their own modest literary talents were really not in his league.  "Conan the Buccaneer" (French) Even worse, I have read reports that they edited some of the original stories for the Lancer editions.   "Conan the Buccaneer" (German) These are the books I grew up with and, along with the Marvel Comics series, formed my conception o...
