ANIMAL FARM - GEORGE ORWELL GEBUNDEN

All animals are equal  but some animals are more equal than others.   George Orwell's fable of
revolutionary farm animals - the steadfast horses Boxer and Clover  the opportunistic pigs
Snowball and Napoleon  and the deafening choir of sheep - who overthrow their elitist human
master only to find themselves subject to a new authority  is one of the most famous warnings
ever written.   Rejected by such eminent publishing figures as Victor Gollancz  Jonathan Cape
and T.S. Eliot due to its daringly open criticism of Stalin  Animal Farm was published to great
acclaim by Martin Secker and Warburg on 17 August 1945. One reviewer wrote 'In a hundred years'
time perhaps Animal Farm ... may simply be a fairy story: today it is a fairy story with a good
deal of point.'    Seventy-five years since its first publication  Orwell's immortal satire
remains an unparalleled masterpiece and more relevant than ever.   The Authoritative Text. With
an introduction by Christopher Hitchens.  *The jacket of this stunning hardback edition
features period artwork by Elizabeth Friedlander  one of Europe's pre-eminent 20th-century
graphic designers. Look out for complementary editions of Orwell's essential works Nineteen
Eighty-Four and Down and Out in Paris and London .*
