A farm revolution and its changing ideals

Animal Farm begins with the animals’ revolt against Mr. Jones and their attempt to organize life around the Seven Commandments of Animalism. As pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead the new order, the novella turns this farm upheaval into a satire of political power, explicitly framed in the source as a critique of Stalinist-era Russia. Its central tension lies in the gap between the animals’ founding principles and the increasingly human character of their rule. The allegorical setting gives Orwell a compact way to examine how revolutions and political ideals can change under those who govern.

Book overview

With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell's Animal Farm takes on new life in this hardcover edition.

The animals of Manor Farm have revolted and taken over. Upon the death of Old Major, pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead a revolt against Mr. Jones, driving him from the farm. The animals embrace the Seven Commandments of Animalism and life carries on, but they learn that a farm ruled by animals looks more human than ever.

Intended as a critique of Stalinist-era Russia, Orwell's satirical novella Animal Farm is one of his greatest literary achievements. Animal Farm was chosen as one of Time magazine's 100 best English-language novels, and won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996.

Since 1832, Mariner Books has launched an incomparable roster of landmark works and enduring classics, including 1984 and Animal Farm. This Mariner Classics edition of Animal Farm is authorized by the Orwell Estate.
