ANIMAL FARM - GEORGE ORWELL TASCHENBUCH

Under the feckless husbandry of Mr Jones  the Manor Farm has fallen into disrepair. Pushed into
hardship  the animals decide to stage a revolt  and  led by two young pigs  Snowball and
Napoleon  they overthrow Mr Jones and drive him away from the farm. In the subsequent struggle
for power  it is Napoleon who emerges as a victor: he renames the place Animal Farm  gets rid
of his enemies and  by the way he behaves - expecting to be glorifi ed above the others and
turning the screw on his fellow beasts in order to keep them subjugated - begins to resemble
more and more the former rulers of the farm  the hated humans. Written during the Second World
War and published in 1945  this allegorical novel is a carefully constructed critique of the
Russian Revolution and a sharp satire on the abuse of power. It remains unsurpassed both as a
document of its time and as a testament to the versatility and creative genius of George
Orwell.
