Book Overview

by George Orwell (Author)

With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell's Animal Farm takes on new life in this hardcover edition.

The animals of Manor Farm have revolted and taken over. Upon the death of Old Major, pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead a revolt against Mr. Jones, driving him from the farm. The animals embrace the Seven Commandments of Animalism and life carries on, but they learn that a farm ruled by animals looks more human than ever.

Intended as a critique of Stalinist-era Russia, Orwell's satirical novella Animal Farm is one of his greatest literary achievements. Animal Farm was chosen as one of Time magazine's 100 best English-language novels, and won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996.

Since 1832, Mariner Books has launched an incomparable roster of landmark works and enduring classics, including 1984 and Animal Farm. This Mariner Classics edition of Animal Farm is authorized by the Orwell Estate.

About George Orwell

George Orwell (pseudonym for Eric Blair [1903-50]) was born in Bengal and educated at Eton; after service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living penning novels and essays. He was essentially a political writer who focused his attention on his own times, a man of intense feelings and intense hates. An opponent of totalitarianism, he served in the Loyalist forces in the Spanish Civil War. Besides his classic Animal Farm, his works include a novel based on his experiences as a colonial policeman, Burmese Days, two firsthand studies of poverty, Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier, an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia; and the extraordinary novel of political prophecy whose title became part of our language, 1984.
