Description

A new edition of this vitally important political novel from George Orwell. First published in 1945, Animal Farm — the history of a revolution that went wrong — is Orwell’s brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. ‘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...

His writing is celebrated for its piercing clarity, purpose and wit and his books continue to be bestsellers all over the world. Alan Johnson was General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union before entering Parliament as Labour MP for Hull West and Hessle in 1997. He served as Home Secretary from June 2009 to May 2010.
