Animal Farm, Hardback Book

Animal Farm Hardback

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

Animal Farm is George Orwell’s brilliant political satire and allegorical fable about the corrupting effects of power.

Published in 1945 it is, to this day, one of the most famous and influential works of fiction ever written. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful hardbacks make perfect gifts for book lovers, or wonderful additions to your own collection.

This edition features an introduction by journalist, award-winning writer and editor of the New Statesman, Jason Cowley. When the old Major, a highly respected white boar, gathers his fellow farm animals to preach about freedom, rebellion and the evils of man, he incites a revolution that has been brewing for years.

The animals drive out their drunken farmer and create their own society – with the promise of equality for all, two scheming pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, appoint themselves leaders.

What begins as a supposedly equalitarian community descends into an increasingly violent and hierarchical society, permeated by lies and corruption.

Years after publication, Orwell's words remain a stark warning against the lure of fascist populism.
