User Review  - Sarah - Goodreads

This is an enormous doorstop of a book, with over 1,300 pages of George Orwell's essays. Of course that doesn't cover everything he wrote, but it's an awful lot. While best known for his novels Animal ... Read full review

I read and loved 1984 and Animal Farm in high school, but I knew almost nothing more about their author until I found this Everyman's Library collection. I love the books in this collection, with the ... Read full review
