β¦ Synopsis
From Library Journal
"Eight years older than 1984 , its claim to be regarded as a modern classic is as sound as that of Orwell's novel," writes Anthony Burgess in his introduction to this edition of The Aerodrome . Written as an allegory on fascism, the 1941 novel tells of the ruination of a rural village by the building of an aerodrome in its vicinity. Large fiction collections should consider it.
