More about the book

The Animal Farm: A fairy Story is the critique of the totalitarian socialist states of the twentieth century, in the form of a fable. Perhaps Orwell's finest creation. It was first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin, and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), he wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he had tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole". *This book contains a biography of the author.
