Animal Farm is a beast fable, in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. It tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before.

In 1943, there was an urgent need for Animal Farm . The Soviet Union had become Britain’s ally in the war against Nazi Germany, and criticism of Stalin’s brutal regime was either censored or discouraged. In any case, many intellectuals on the left still celebrated the Soviet Union, claiming that the terrors of its show trials, summary executions and secret police were either exaggerated or necessary. But, to Orwell, Stalin was always a “disgusting murderer” and he wanted to remind people of this fact in a powerful and memorable way. But how to do it? A political essay would never reach a wide enough audience; a traditional novel would take too long to write. Orwell hit on the inspired idea of combining the moralism of the traditional ‘beast fable’ with the satire of Gulliver’s Travels . A group of farmyard animals, led by the pigs, overthrow their human masters. Their revolution is inspired by high ideals: the farm will be run in the interests of its animals with no more slaughtering, plenty of food for all and comfort in retirement. But when Napoleon the pig takes command, he quickly corrupts their principles, creating a new tyranny worse than the old. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in the middle of the Second World War, but at first no publishers wanted to touch it. It was finally published in August 1945, once the war was over. This little book quickly became a seminal text in the emerging ‘cold war’ (a phrase that Orwell himself coined). It also became a site of that conflict itself, suffering various attempts to subvert or change its meaning. Today, Animal Farm remains a powerful fable about the nature of tyranny and corruption which applies for all ages. Our edition also includes the following essays: Shooting an Elephant; Charles Dickens; Inside the Whale; The Frontiers of Art and Propaganda; Literature and Totalitarianism; Fascism and Democracy; Patriots and Revolutionaries; Catastrophic Gradualism; Some Thoughts on the Common Toad; Why I Write; Writers and Leviathan

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.

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.

'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others' When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control.

'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' Mr Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is a lazy drunk. The animals decide to overthrow him in a revolution that will allow them to run the farm, liberating themselves and creating a new life of equality and freedom. But they have underestimated the pigs.

Now an animated film adaptation produced and directed by Andy Serkis George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution has become an intimate part of our contemporary culture, with its treatment of democratic, fascist, and socialist ideals through an animal fable.The animals of Mr. Jones's Manor Farm are overworked, mistreated, and desperately seeking a reprieve. In their quest to create an idyllic society where justice and equality reign, the animals of Manor Farm revolt against their human rulers, establishing the democratic Animal Farm under the credo, 'All Animals Are Created Equal.' Out of their cleverness, the pigs-Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball-emerge as leaders of the new community. In a development of insidious familiarity, the pigs begin to assume ever greater amounts of power, while other animals, especially the faithful horse Boxer, assume more of the work. The climax of the story results in a brutal betrayal, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: 'But Some Animals Are More Equal than Others.'This astonishing allegory, one of the most scathing satires in literary history, remains as fresh and relevant as the day it was published.

"Alle dyr er lige, men nogle dyr er mere lige end andre." Da dyrene på mr. Jones’ gård gør oprør og tager magten fra menneskene, er det med en vision om frihed og efter devisen, at alle dyr skal være lige. Især grisene ser muligheder i denne nye orden på gården, og med tiden bliver det tydeligt, at selv de mest ubøjelige idealister kan korrumperes. Snart udviskes grænsen mellem dyr og menneske. "Animal Farm" er en fabel om en revolution, der kører af sporet, og om utopiske ambitioner, der må vige for magtens fristelser. En evigt aktuel satire om farerne ved politisk totalitarisme. George Orwells klassiker fra 1945 i ny oversættelse. Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), der var bedre kendt under pseudonymet George Orwell, var en britisk forfatter og journalist. Han huskes i dag bedst for romanerne "Kammerat Napoleon" ("Animal Farm") og "1984" ("Nineteen Eighty-Four") – to værker, der kendetegnes ved Orwells store bevidsthed om social retfærdighed og stærke modstand mod totalitarismen. Hans kulturelle indflydelse på både politik og populærkultur er tydelig at se selv den dag i dag.

"Animal Farm" er George Orwells tidsløse satire over den russiske revolution - der finder sted på en bondegård. Bondegårdens dyr og deres modige oprør omskaber Mr. Jones' 'Manor Farm' til et demokratisk samfund bygget på idéen om, at Alle Dyr Er Skabt Lige. Da tre lumske grise subtilt rykker på demokratiets magtbalance, bliver det dog hurtigt klar, at visse dyr ser sig selv som mere lige end andre. "Animal Farm" er en af de allerstørste litterære klassikere i nyere tid og en genial skildring af magtens korrumperende indflydelse.

"Animal Farm" er den klassiske satire af totalitarisme, som nok er den bedst kendte politiske allegori fra det 20. århundrede. "Animal Farm" følger en gruppe bondegårdsdyr, der gør oprør mod deres ondsindede menneskelige ejer og derefter underkaster sig et selvskabt tyranni. George Orwells geni skinner klart igennem bogens sider og det simple sprog og den sorte humors logik understreger klart hans dystre budskab. Hvad der starter ud som et billede på den russiske revolutions uindfriede løfte, ender med at være en vision, der giver læseren en klar forståelse af de mulige konsekvenser, der kan opstå af sociale og politiske handlinger.

Animal Farm erzählt die Geschichte eines Aufstands und wie er missglückt. Das Leben der Tiere auf dem Bauernhof ist schrecklich - es gibt nicht genug Nahrung, die Arbeit ist hart, und viele sterben. Eines Tages werfen die Tiere den Bauern hinaus und beginnen, den Hof selbst zu bewirtschaften. Bald wird eine Gruppe von Tieren - die Schweine - immer wichtiger, aber für die meisten Tiere wird es nicht besser. Das Leben ist für sie dasselbe wie zuvor.

Animal Farm (1945) is a masterful allegorical novella by George Orwell that satirizes the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the rise of totalitarianism under Stalin. Set on a fictional English farm, the story begins when a group of mistreated animals, inspired by the vision of a wise old boar named Old Major, revolt against their human farmer in hopes of creating a society where all animals are equal, free, and happy. Led initially by the pigs Snowball and Napoleon, the animals rename the property "Animal Farm" and establish a new order based on the principle that "All animals are equal." However, as time passes, the pigs gradually assume power, manipulate the commandments of Animalism, and exploit the other animals for their own gain. Napoleon eventually emerges as a tyrannical leader, mirroring the very oppression the revolution sought to overthrow. The chilling transformation is immortalized in the famous line: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Orwell's concise and accessible prose belies the profound depth of his critique. Through vivid characters like Boxer the loyal workhorse, Squealer the manipulative propagandist, and the cynical donkey Benjamin, Orwell explores themes of power, corruption, propaganda, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of history. Both a political parable and a universal commentary on human nature, Animal Farm remains one of the most influential works in world literature. It is not only a searing condemnation of totalitarian regimes but also a timeless warning about the fragility of freedom and the ease with which ideals can be subverted by those in power.

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 .*

"A delightfully humorous and caustic satire on the rule of the many by the few." ¿ Animal Farm, The Guardian. "What I have most wanted to do throughout the past ten years is to make political writing into an art. My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice." ¿ George Orwell "One cannot help but be struck by the degree to which he (George Orwell) became, in Henry James's words, one of those upon whom nothing was lost. By declining to lie, even as far as possible to himself, and by his determination to seek elusive but verifiable truth, he showed how much can be accomplished by an individual who unites the qualities of intellectual honesty and moral courage." -- Christopher Hitchens "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."¿ George Orwell, Animal Farm. This little volume contains one of the most prophetic and chilling novels of the twentieth century--Animal Farm. Orwell clear-sightedly looks at humanity and human nature and shows us what could go terribly wrong, in a story for all ages. Orwell wrote Animal Farm - A Fairy Story in three months from November 1943 to February 1944. It was only published in August 1945 because it was seen for what it was: a critique of Stalin's Soviet Union, which, much to Orwell's disgust, was a strategic ally of the United Kingdom. It was then an immediate world-wide success. Financially, Orwell was able to buy a home in the Hebrides, where he would spend much of the rest of his life, and write Nineteen Eighty-Four. Animal Farm is even more relevant today in a world of failed revolutions than when it was written. George Orwell (born Eric Blair, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, died Jan 1950, London)was a leading British writer of the twentieth century. He studied at Wellington College and Eton (1917-1921) where he was a King's Scholar. After Eton, he followed family tradition and joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, until 1927 when, disgusted by imperialism, he resigned to pursue his boyhood dream of being a writer. He published an autobiographical book Down and Out in London and Paris, with Victor Gollancz Ltd. under his pen name of George Orwell. This established his literary career. Orwell was a prolific journalist, essayist, novelist and nonfiction writer. He is remembered for his prescient writing and his unwavering commitment to truth and clarity of expression. His last two novels--Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four--have placed him at the pinnacle of British literature.

Overworked, mistreated animals on a farm revolt and take control over it. They set out to create an ideal space brimming with the ideas of progress, justice, and equality only to result in an equally problematic environment. This makes the backdrop of one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned. With flarning idealism and stirring slogans, this book chronicles the evolution from revolution against tyranny to totalitarianism just as terrible. An allegory on the Soviet regime, Animal Farm was banned in the Eastern bloc and is one of the great political works of the 20th Century.
