" 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, " Animal Farm remains our great satire on the darker face of modern history."

Synopsis
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., 75th Anniversary Edition--Includes 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.

    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.

    Good Politcal Eye Opener

    This book brings Communist Totalitarianism into light in a most amusing way. The characters are well written in that they are a strong representation of the ignorant masses. They are taken advantage of in similar fashion to their real life counterparts. There are valuable lessons to be learned here.

    Very good reread again and again just to remind us of how wicked we are!!

    You would think that a story like this should seem untenable today with all the really "smart" individuals who are so sure they have it altogether. Great book!
