'All animals are equal - but some 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 elite among them, masterminded by the pigs
Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other
animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought,
and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is
replaced with another. 'It is the history of a revolution that went
wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every
step for the perversion of the original doctrine,' wrote Orwell for
the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at
the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished; its savage
attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book
being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell's simple, tragic
fable has since become a world-famous classic. This Penguin Modern
classics edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury.
