«The best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse.»
«Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a porr diver, gathering pearls from the Gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, juana, and their infant son with meager substinence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino emerges from the sea with a pearl as lasrge as a seagull’s egg, as «perfect as the moon». With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and security…»
«A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned -a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.»
«The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell’s prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still a great modern classic of «negative utopia» -a startingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words.»
