All
animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell's fable of revolutionary farm
animals - the steadfast horses Boxer and Clover, the opportunistic pigs
Snowball and Napoleon, and the deafening choir of sheep - who overthrow their
elitist human master only to find themselves subject to a new authority, is one
of the most famous warnings ever written.
Rejected by such eminent publishing figures
as Victor Gollancz, Jonathan Cape and T.S. Eliot due to its daringly open
criticism of Stalin, Animal Farm was published to great acclaim by Martin
Secker and Warburg on 17 August 1945. One reviewer wrote 'In a hundred years'
time perhaps Animal Farm ... may simply be a fairy story: today it is a fairy
story with a good deal of point.'
Seventy-five years since its first
publication, Orwell's immortal satire remains an unparalleled masterpiece and
more relevant than ever.
