George Orwell

George Orwell — 5 titles in the rankings, first published between 1934 and 1949. They average 8.1, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm are what most readers come for, and both rate high. Animal Farm is the short way in — a fable you can read in an evening. His non-fiction holds up too: Homage to Catalonia, on fighting in the Spanish Civil War, rates close behind.
