"Animal Farm", by George Orwell - author of 1984, one of Britain's most popular novels - is a brilliant political satire and a powerful and affecting story of revolutions and idealism, power and corruption. '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 organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges..."Animal Farm" - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. "Remains our great satire of the darker face of modern history". (Malcolm Bradbury). "Animal Farm has seen off all the opposition. It's as valid as today as it was fifty years ago". (Ralph Steadman).George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) was an accomplished social, political and literary commentator and essayist known for his non-fiction works "The Road to Wigan Pier" and "Homage to Catalonia". His most famous novels, "Animal Farm" and 1984 have influenced a generation of twentieth century political satirists and dystopian novelists. "Animal Farm" received the W. H. Smith and Penguin Books Great Reads of the century award in 1995; this edition of Orwell's seminal novella is introduced by Professor Peter Davidson.

a short yet beautiful novel. Took it on a long haul flight the day after i finished 1984 and finished it over 10 hours, i enjoye everyone of those 10 hours.

 One of the best books ever.

When I first bought this book i had no idea how good it is. Even though it's quite short, the writings quite small so it lasts you a couple of hours. I'd recomend it for anyone interested in politics, and even I enjoyed it, and I'm a teenager! It's a timeless classic, and its just as relevant now as it was then.

 Orwell's second best.

Amazing allegorical tale of the Russian revolution. Not very long but it will keep you hooked all the way through.
Not quite as good as 1984, but then again they're different kinds of books.
Buy this book, you will not regret it.

 A NICE LITTLE READ

If you have read orwells nineteen eighty four and enjoyed it then read this,if you havnt read it then read this anyway! a very good story that you can finish in a few hours. Have to agree with the other reveiwer that it isnt as good as 1984 but still a good quality read. A satire of stalinism,it is set on a farm and tells of how the animals revolt and decide to overthrow the farmer and run the farm themselves. A good read 4/5
