Animal Farm by George Orwell

A revolution's promise gives way to new oppression

Excellent Condition - Light cover scuffing, small edge/corner creases and lightly toned page edges.

The animals of Manor Farm overthrow their human owner, hoping to build a society based on fairness, cooperation and freedom from exploitation. The pigs take charge of organising their new world, but leadership gradually becomes control. Rules change, uncomfortable memories are corrected and the language of equality is used to justify privileges the revolution was supposed to end. Through a deceptively simple story of farm animals, George Orwell examines the corruption of political ideals and the methods by which power protects itself. Animal Farm is a sharply drawn fable about propaganda, loyalty and the vulnerability of those who want to believe in a better future, even as the evidence around them grows darker.
