Description
George Orwell’s allegorical tale features farm animals – dedicated horses Boxer and Clover, cunning pigs Snowball and Napoleon, and the echoing sheep choir. After overthrowing their oppressive human master, they confront a new ruling class. Despite its rejection by notable publishers like Victor Gollancz, Jonathan Cape, and T.S. Eliot due to its bold criticism of Stalin, Animal Farm was eventually published by Martin Secker and Warburg on August 17, 1945, receiving significant acclaim. Described as a tale that might evolve into a mere fairy story in the future, it was recognized as a pertinent narrative during its time. Seventy-five years later, Orwell’s timeless satire persists as an unparalleled masterpiece, holding even greater relevance today.
