revisit Orwellas classic satire "Animal Farm"
As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As readers witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, they begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organizationaand in the most charismatic leaders, the souls of the cruelest oppressors.
"Absolutely first-rate...comparable to Voltaire and Swift."
