Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Uma Krishnaswami
In this elegant 50th anniversary edition, Orwell's masterpiece is enhanced though Ralph Steadman's 100 full color and half tone illustrations that make the twists and turns of its plot more sinister, and by Orwell's unpublished proposed preface to the original edition, as well as his preface to the 1947 Ukrainian edition. Both provide historical context to the development of this metaphoric tale.
Edmund Wilson
Absolutely first-rate...comparable to Voltaire and Swift. -- The New Yorker
From Barnes & Noble
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." Published in 1945, this powerful satire of the Russian Revolution under Stalin remains as vivid and relevant today as it was on its first publication. 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.
