Animal Farm

The animals of Manor Farm overthrow their neglectful owner and attempt to build a community founded on equality. Under the leadership of the pigs, however, the principles of the rebellion are gradually rewritten as power becomes concentrated and dissent is suppressed. George Orwell's political fable uses the changing life of the farm to examine propaganda, authoritarian rule, corruption, and the manipulation of language. This physical hardcover edition presents a concise twentieth-century classic for adult readers interested in literary fiction, political satire, and the ways revolutionary ideals can be distorted.
