«Animal Farm» is George Orwell's satirical novel, published by Penguin Books in paperback (95 pages, in English).
The animals of Manor Farm expel their owner and proclaim an egalitarian community. Orwell's satire follows the pigs who, at the head of the rebellion, reinterpret revolutionary principles until imposing a new order: an allegory of the Russian revolution and of totalitarianism that warns about power and propaganda.
The work was originally published in 1945; this edition dates from 1990. In 1996 it received the Retro Hugo for best novella.
For readers of English classics and political fiction who want a brief allegory with relevance as a critique of power.
Eric Arthur Blair was an English novelist, poet, essayist, journalist, and critic who wrote under the pen name of George Orwell. His work is characterised by lucid prose, social criticism, opposition to all totalitarianism, and support of democratic socialism.
