Note from the librarian: This book's version also has an alternate cover available here.
Animals who are abused and overworked take over a farm. They were on a mission to establish a utopia of advancement, equity, and fairness, armed with fiery idealism and inspiring lyrics. The scene is thus set for one of the most insightful satirical fables ever written: a fairy tale for adults with a sharp edge that chronicles the progression from a revolt against oppression to an equally awful authoritarianism.
Stalinist Russia was considered the book's intended audience when Animal Farm was initially released. The vicious humor and cutting clarity of George Orwell's masterwork have a meaning and message that is still brutally relevant today, regardless of the flag under which freedom is assailed.
