Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society, only to be betrayed into worse servitude by their leaders, the pigs, whose slogan becomes: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Including Orwell's proposed preface to the original edition and his preface to the 1947 Ukrainian edition, this special edition also features a series of magnificent color & black and white illustrations by Ralph Steadman.

Revolutions are fueled and ruined by greed, ignorance, fear, lazyness, and other human traits that will forever stain our attempts to erradicate poverty and inequality. I believe that the success of th...

I'm not as enamored by this as 1984. But it's still a good book, certainly.
