This review is from: The Penguin Complete Novels of George Orwell: Animal Farm / Burmese Days / A Clergyman's Daughter / Coming Up for Air / Keep the Aspidistra Flying / Nineteen Eighty-Four (Paperback)

This is a superb and economical way of getting ones hands on the few remaining Orwell novels I have not yet read. Once "A Clergyman's Daughter" "Coming up for Air" and "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" have been devoured that will be all of Mr Orwells well written tomes read. It's cheaper to buy them here then seperately.
I would be most surprised if most people haven't already read the two famous ones amongst this collection, "Animal Farm" and "1984" are both classics of English literature.
They quite rightly are novels which will be around for a very long time to come.
Although titled 'The Complete Novels' other works such as Road to Wigan Pier, Down and Out in Paris and London and Homage to Catalonia are absent, probably because they are more social commentaries based on his real life, rather than novels.

Is there any doubt? The most important 20th Century man of letters writing in English - fiction, essays, journalism, belles lettres, name it - the weight, relevance, passion, and scope of his work is unparalleled, unrivaled - and accessible even to schoolchildren.
