Since its publication fifty years ago, "Animal Farm" has become one
of the most controversial books ever written. It has been
translated into seventy languages and sold millions of copies
throughout the world. This edition is being published to
commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of its original U.S.
publication.
It features 100 full-color and halftone illustrations by
world-renowned artist Ralph Steadman. As vital and relevant as it
was fifty years ago, "Animal Farm" is a devastating satire of the
Soviet Union by the man V. S. Pritchett called "the conscience of
his generation." A fable about an uprising of farm animals against
their human masters, it illustrates how new tyranny replaces old in
the wake of revolutions and power corrupts even the noblest of
causes.
This anniversary edition includes Orwell's proposed but
unpublished preface to the original edition and his preface to the
1947 Ukranian edition. These appendices evoke the historical
context in which Orwell conceived and wrote his classic novel.
