Description

All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organized to benefit all those who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And then something new and unexpected emerges ...Animal Farm: A Fairy Story by George Orwell—author of 1984, one of Britain's most popular novels—is a brilliant political satire and a powerful, affecting story of revolutions and idealism, power and corruption.
