It became a great commercial success when it did appear partly because international relations were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to the Cold War. Time magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005 ); it is also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century novels.
