"Still outlawed by regimes around the world, Animal Farm has always been political dynamite." - The Guardian
Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.
All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others
'It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine.'-George Orwell
About the Author
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four, which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.
'You can't have a revolution unless you make it for yourself; there is no such thing as a benevolent dictatorship.'-George Orwell

Napoleon is always right!
For me, no other book felt as divided within itself as this one. Thematically narrowed down to the point - yet universally understandable. Although the text is easy to read, it is difficult to see through. It is as if Orwell wanted to pour his inner turmoil about the development of the early Soviet Union into the novel - and you can feel his disappointment through the letters. The novel rightly is one of the great classics and certainly one of the books you should read at least once in your life. -

Animal Farm
The book tells the gripping story of animals on a farm who rebel against the oppression of their powerful owner and start a revolution. The revolution is led by the farm's pigs. It shows how the pigs try to develop their own power structures to improve their situation. Particularly impressive is the depiction of how propaganda and false information are used to manipulate the animals and secure control. The book vividly shows how propaganda works and how it serves to secure and consolidate power. It is a fascinating and instructive story that inspires reflection on power, manipulation, and the meaning of truth. -

A must read
Already a classic by the end of the 20th century and a must read for everyone. No other book illustrates and questions the history of communism in the former Soviet Union more gripping. Motives, organisation and gradual descent into perversion and farce, find it all on "Animal Farm"!
