"A delightfully humorous and caustic satire on the rule of the many by the few." ?  Animal Farm,  The Guardian.

"What I have most wanted to do throughout the past ten years is to make political writing into an art. My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice." ?  George Orwell

"One cannot help but be struck by the degree to which he (George Orwell) became, in Henry James's words, one of those upon whom nothing was lost. By declining to lie, even as far as possible to himself, and by his determination to seek elusive but verifiable truth, he showed how much can be accomplished by an individual who unites the qualities of intellectual honesty and moral courage." -- Christopher Hitchens

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."? George Orwell,  Animal Farm.

This little volume contains one of the most prophetic and chilling novels of the twentieth century--Animal Farm. Orwell clear-sightedly looks at humanity and human nature and shows us what could go terribly wrong, in a story for all ages.

Orwell wrote Animal Farm - A Fairy Story in three months from November 1943 to February 1944. It was only published in August 1945 because it was seen for what it was: a critique of Stalin's Soviet Union, which, much to Orwell's disgust, was a strategic ally of the United Kingdom. It was then an immediate world-wide success. Financially, Orwell was able to buy a home in the Hebrides, where he would spend much of the rest of his life, and write Nineteen Eighty-Four. Animal Farm is even more relevant today in a world of failed revolutions than when it was written.
