75th Anniversary Edition—Includes a New Introduction by Téa Obreht George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire of a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

📚 Why We Recommend It

A group of farm animals, fed up with oppression, overthrow their human masters in a fiery revolution—and this seemingly simple animal fable holds sharper truths than reality itself. George Orwell uses a pigsty as his stage to craft a timeless allegory of power’s corruption: When the slogan “All animals are equal” is quietly twisted, when revolutionary leaders become new tyrants, how do the creatures who once charged for freedom end up as prisoners of fresh chains?

Within its 140 pages, every character is a mirror: the hardworking cart-horse embodies betrayed idealism, the scheming pigs enact the erosion of power, and that paradoxical line—“some animals are more equal than others”—still echoes in our world today. The 75th-anniversary edition, with its new introduction, ties this mid-20th-century tale to the quiet struggles of every modern reader.

It was never a children’s story, but a warning to all who stay awake: When we cheer for “progress,” should we glance back to see how much of the original vow has been worn away? Open this book, and in the world of animals, you’ll recognize countless versions of our own.
