Description
Animal Farm is George Orwell’s brilliant political satire and allegorical fable about the corrupting effects of power. Published in 1945, it remains one of the most famous and influential works of fiction ever written. This edition is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers, and features an introduction by journalist and writer Jason Cowley. When Old Major, a highly respected white boar, gathers the farm animals to preach about freedom, rebellion and the evils of humans, he incites a revolution that has been brewing for years. The animals drive out their drunken farmer, Mr Jones, and create their own society, promising equality for all. Two scheming pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, appoint themselves leaders, and what begins as a supposedly egalitarian community descends into an increasingly violent and hierarchical society permeated by lies and corruption.
