Fueled by Orwell''s intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, \u003cem\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/em\u003e is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal. The future, however, is far from certain as the drama plays out in actual events. A cautionary tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/em\u003e remains our great satire on the darker face of modern history.\"-Malcolm Bradbury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"As lucid as glass and quite as sharp...[\u003cem\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/em\u003e] has the double meaning, the sharp edge, and the lucidity of Swift.\"-\u003cem\u003eAtlantic Monthly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times.\"-\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Orwell has worked out his theme with a simplicity, a wit, and a dryness that are close to La Fontaine and Gay, and has written in a prose so plain and spare, so admirably proportioned to his purpose, that \u003cem\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/em\u003e even seems very creditable if we compare it with Voltaire and Swift.\"-Edmund Wilson, \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Orwell''s satire here is amply broad, cleverly conceived, and delightfully written.\"-\u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"The book for everyone and Everyman, its brightness undimmed.\"-Ruth Rendell\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57393383899518,"sku":"NW9781946963444","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781946963444.jpg?v=1778653426","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/animal-farm-a-fairy-story","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
