Animal Farm

Animal Farm is a beast story, in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, first published in 1945. It depicts the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before. Review:'There are no replacements for George Orwell, just as there are no replacements for a Bernard Shaw or a Mark Twain...he pricked, provoked and badgered lazy minds, delighted those who enjoyed watching an original intelligence at work.' - Time Magazine'A book for everyone and Everyman, its brightness undimmed after fifty years.' - Ruth Rendell
