Animal Farm George Orwell

This is the second printing of Orwell's greatest exploration into allegory as it follows anthropomorphic farm animals rebelling against their human owner hoping to create a equal, classless society but the revolution is eventually betrayed under the dictatorship of a Pig named "Napoleon". Animal Farm was placed at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels and alongside Orwell's 1984 has cemented him as one of the most revered and celebrated authors of the 20th century.
