About this product

Product Information

NOW AVAILABLE: The 75th Anniversary Edition with a new introduction by Téa Obreht George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel--a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism. SOON TO BE A NETFLIX FILM! "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." 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."

great book in decent condition
Animal Farm opens with a clandestine meeting of the animals of Manor Farm after the owner, Mr. Jones, goes to bed drunk. Old Major, a boar, had a dream that he wanted to relate to all of the animals. His dream was of a farm governed by the animals, without Mr. Jones and other humans stealing all of their work, where all the animals were free and equal and worked to support themselves instead of their masters. Old Major dies before his vision is seen, but two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, take up the cause, flesh out his vision, and convince the animals that it's possible. The next time Jones lashes out with cruelty, the animals rebel, drive him and his wife off the farm, and take it over for themselves.Animal Farm opens with a clandestine meeting of the animals of Manor Farm after the owner, Mr. Jones, goes to bed drunk.

Poor Boxer!
Do you know anything about totalitarian regimes in the 20th Century? If not, read about Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler, then come back and read "Animal Farm". After the revolution, the pigs are the big wigs, the dogs are their Stasi. The other animals learn an important lesson: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal. The tale shows how human nature and selfishness can bring corrution to, and even destroy, the most utopian society. This book should be required reading in any modern high school government class.Do you know anything about totalitarian regimes in the 20th Century?
