A Quote by George Orwell
The smell of her hair, the taste of her mouth, the feeling of her skin seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all round him. She had become a physical necessity.

Animal Farm, George Orwell's 1945 allegorical novella, remains one of the most influential political satires of the 20th century. Using a farm setting and animal characters, Orwell crafted a biting critique of totalitarianism inspired by the events of the Russian Revolution and the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
