With a foreword by Ann Patchett
George Orwell's timeless fable - a parable for would-be liberators everywhere, glimpsed through the lens of our own historyAs ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals, and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As we witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, we begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organization; and in our most charismatic leaders, the souls of our cruelest oppressors.
This new , beautiful paperback edition with a foreword by Ann Patchett features deckled edges and french flaps -- a perfect gift for any occasion.

Ótimo livro para causar reflexões.
É um cautionary tale ( um conto de aviso), no qual os animais começam uma rebelião e o que antes vira um sonho de liberdade se transforma em uma situação até pior de como eles estavam antes sob os cuidados do fazendeiro ( embora eles nunca percebem isso). Um livro atemporal que nos alerta sobre a manipulação e o poder descuidado em mãos erradas.

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! I loved how you could see the descent into hells of the farm. Very well written and the message is clear. Animal farm could've just as well been titled "human society".

very on the nose, but necessarily so due to its terrifying relevance
