Animal FarmRead about another book on Gascoigne's list.
by George Orwell
Not since Jonathan Swift has anyone written political satire with as surprising an angle and as deft a touch. The pigs Napoleon (Stalin) and Snowball (Trotsky) and the uncomplaining carthorse Boxer (the model worker) have a long literary life ahead of them.
Animal Farm also appears among Chuck Klosterman's most important books.
