About the book
The animals at Manor Farm have had enough of Farmer Jones-he’s drunk, reckless and cares little for their welfare. When the boar, Old Major, shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can thrive on their own once the despot Jones is overthrown. But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to bear an uncanny resemblance to the tyrants they have overthrown … George Orwell’s renowned fable became an instant success on publication after the Second World War. The novel has continued to captivate readers of all ages and has secured Orwell’s position as one of the great writers of the twentieth century.

George Orwell
Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, essayist and journalist. He was born in the city of Motihari in Bihar, India, where his father was working as an opium agent in the Indian civil service. Orwell was most famous for his dystopian works of fiction, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four but he was also a prolific essayist. Many of his essays, including ‘Why I Write’ and ‘Politics and the English Language’, have remained popular as well.
Orwell’s experiences in the 1930s, including reporting on the living conditions of the poor and the working class as well as fighting as a volunteer soldier in the Spanish Civil War formed his political and philosophical outlook. His body of work provides one of the twentieth century’s most incisive critiques of totalitarianism.
