Remains our great satire of the darker face of modern history—Malcolm Bradbury<br /><br /><i>Animal Farm</i> has seen off all the opposition. It's as valid as today as it was fifty years ago—Ralph Steadman<br /><br />It immediately established itself in the reader's imagination, and in the reader's political discourse. The book will survive all its editions—<i>New York Times</i><br /><br />Surely one of the greatest works of literature of the 20th century, delivering truths about politics that remain, to this hour, horribly disturbing—<i>The Times</i><br /><br />To say that I was horrified by this book is an understatement… The whole experience was deeply disturbing to me, but I am forever grateful to Orwell for alerting me early to the danger flags I've tried to watch out for since—Margaret Atwood, Guardian
A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Orwell's satirical masterpiece with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
Mr Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is a lazy drunk. The animals decide to overthrow him in a revolution that will allow them to run the farm, liberating themselves and creating a new life of equality and freedom. But they have underestimated the pigs. Napoleon and Snowball form an elite and take control for themselves, and the tyranny of the farmer is replaced with another kind of control leaving the animals again subject to a ruthless and cruel authority.
Imagined only as Orwell could, this powerful fable is instilled with humour and an underlying urgency that makes this one of the most prescient warnings ever written.
