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. -- Publisher description.

The animals on Mr. Jones' farm stage a successful revolution, and take the place over. Their hopes , their plans, and their achievements form the subject of "Animal Farm." In the first flush of enthusiasm there is set up a great commandment, "All animals are equal", but unfortunately leadership devolves almost automatically on the pigs, who are on a higher intellectual level than the rest. The revolution begins to go wrong--yet at every step excellent excuses are always forthcoming for each perversion of the original doctrine. [p. 2 of cover] (less)
