Animal Farm: A Fairy Storyby George Orwell
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:George Orwell's timeless fable - a parable for would-be liberators everywhere, glimpsed through the lens of our own history As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals, and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As we witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, we begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organization; and in our most charismatic leaders, the souls of our cruelest oppressors. Book News Annotation:<:st> Orwell's classic political fable is often cited as simply a
condemnation of Stalinism, which it certainly was, but its political
relevance is both wider and more enduring, as novelist Ann Patchett
notes in her introductory essay to this new edition. Among the
lessons contained in its pages is the need of politicians for "The
Enemy" (think Axis of Evil) and the dangers of individuality to
oppressive political order. A previous edition of this book was
cited in the third edition of Books for College Libraries
