A "political satire" written in bygone days, with a sophistication today's "allegorical stories" lack. Animal Farm by George Orwell is an example of classic fiction first published in 1945 in the United Kingdom. A true book of value, a classic that continues to live on across the ages. Books from yesteryear have an artistic quality and a permanence often lacking in books from the modern era. You are sure to love this work. A satirical novella of the finest type. A Glimpse Inside Three nights later old Major died peacefully in his sleep. His body was buried at the foot of the orchard. This was early in March. During the next three months there was much secret activity. Major's speech had given to the more intelligent animals on the farm a completely new outlook on life. They did not know when the Rebellion predicted by Major would take place, they had no reason for thinking that it would be within their own lifetime, but they saw clearly that it was their duty to prepare for it. The work of teaching and organising the others fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally recognised as being the cleverest of the animals. Pre-eminent among the pigs were two young boars named Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale. Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way. Synopsis On August 17, 1945, George Orwell's satirical allegorical novella Animal Farm was originally published in England. The story follows a group of farm animals who revolt against their human farmer in order to create a world where all animals are treated equally, are free, and happy. The uprising is put down, and the farm returns to its previous state, with Napoleon, a pig, in charge. According to Orwell, the story recounts events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution and later into the Stalinist era in the Soviet Union. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a sharp critic of Joseph Stalin and an outspoken opponent of Moscow-directed Stalinism, shaped in part by his experiences during the Spanish Civil War, when the POUM and Stalinist troops clashed during the May Day battles. The Soviet Union had degraded into a totalitarian autocracy centred on a personality cult as a result of mass incarceration, secret summary trials, and executions. According to a letter to Yvonne Davet, Animal Farm was the first novel in which Orwell attempted, with full understanding of what he was doing, "to merge political meaning and aesthetic purpose into one whole." This was also stated in his essay "Why I Write" (1946). "A beautiful reprint" from Wombrook Publishing.
