About this product

Product Information

George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel--a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism. SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE ON NETFLIX "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned--a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

Reviews
" Animal Farm remains our great satire on the darker face of modern history."--Malcolm Bradbury "As lucid as glass and quite as sharp...[ Animal Farm ] has the double meaning, the sharp edge, and the lucidity of Swift."-- Atlantic Monthly "A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times."-- The New York Times "Orwell has worked out his theme with a simplicity, a wit, and a dryness that are close to La Fontaine and Gay, and has written in a prose so plain and spare, so admirably proportioned to his purpose, that Animal Farm even seems very creditable if we compare it with Voltaire and Swift."--Edmund Wilson, The New Yorker "Orwell's satire here is amply broad, cleverly conceived, and delightfully written."-- San Francisco Chronicle "The book for everyone and Everyman, its brightness undimmed after fifty years."--Ruth Rendell, " Animal Farm remains our great satire on the darker face of modern history."--Malcolm Bradbury "As lucid as glass and quite as sharp...[ Animal Farm ] has the double meaning, the sharp edge, and the lucidity of Swift."-- Atlantic Monthly "A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times."-- The New York Times "Orwell has worked out his theme with a simplicity, a wit, and a dryness that are close to La Fontaine and Gay, and has written in a prose so plain and spare, so admirably proportioned to his purpose, that Animal Farm even seems very creditable if we compare it with Voltaire and Swift."--Edmund Wilson, The New Yorker "Orwell's satire here is amply broad, cleverly conceived, and delightfully written."-- San Francisco Chronicle "The book for everyone and Everyman, its brightness undimmed after fifty years."--Ruth Rendell, 'dare I Say It...

Maybe I overlooked it, but it would have been nice to know that more than half the lines throughout the book have been underlined and many or done so sloppy it over writes the words. Would have never purchased as this is very annoying when trying to read. Its not a few. I ask myself why didnt the malicious underliner just underline every single word and line. Quality should have been advertised as poor.

    A timeless lesson

    Animal Farm is a timeless classic with a timeless lesson, one that can be applied even today. The chain of events that follow the takeover of the farm can be seen as a cautionary tale of how power corrupts, how following blindly never ends well and, unfortunately, how easily the new can mold itself to the old, until the two are no longer distinguishable from each other. Excellent book, recommended for all.

    An excellent "children's" read

    This is a book that I always considered more of a junior high level read, though I have just read it (I am 29). On the surface the story is entertaining and enjoyable. However, as with similar books (e.g. 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Darkness at Noon, etc) once one gets past the story, which was composed to carry the deeper message, you begin to think critically about what the author is really trying to communicate. I have read historical works regarding the Soviet Union and to see the near exact same events and methodologies evolving/being presented in such an otherwise entertaining way is really interesting. To me, this would be an excellent introductory text to Soviet history, just to the the students' feet wet, so to speak. After reading this book I began to wonder. Orwell was an avid ...

    a fantastic story

    Animal Farm by George Orwell is an extremely rewarding book for readers about twelve and older, in accordance with some violent parts in the novel. The wording of Animal Farm makes it seem like a children's story (the full title reads Animal Farm: a Fairy Story) when in fact it is a cryptic warning about the dangers of communism. The book seems like an unfinished fairy tale: one where good does not triumph over evil in the end. A fairy tale without a moral. And that is, in itself, Orwell's warning: he ends the book openly, letting the reader think of all possible circumstances that could happen at Manor Farm. The novel is incredibly thought provoking, and many of the thoughts that are brought about relate to humanitarian concerns; thoughts of moral ethics, of rights and wrongs in ...

    The Animal Farm a modern classic

    Animal Farm by George Orwell (1945) Cover of "Animal Farm: Centennial Edition... Cover of Animal Farm: Centennial Edition The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. One-sentence summary: The animals on a farm rise up in revolution against the farmer but their socialist ideals are corrupted in this satirical critique of Stalinism. My rating: When read: October 2008 Why read: My husband had a copy, and one of my blog readers recommended it to me. It is such a short book and quick read, I’m surprised I had’t read it earlier. Impressions: This classic allegory of revolution and the corruption of power does not disappoint. The animals who take over Animal Farm each represent groups ...
