Description

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 society that blindly marches toward 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 mistreated animals who are overworked. With great idealism and inspiring slogans, they strive to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. This sets the stage for one of the most impactful satirical fables ever written—a sharp-edged fairy tale for adults that depicts the evolution from revolution against tyranny to an equally terrible totalitarianism.


When Animal Farm was first published, it was seen as a critique of Stalinist Russia. Today, it is painfully clear that Orwell's masterpiece has a powerful and relevant message whenever and wherever freedom is under attack, regardless of the banner under which it occurs.
