75th Anniversary Edition—Includes a New Introduction by Téa Obreht

George Orwell’s enduring and powerful allegorical novel remains as relevant today as ever—a sharp satirical portrayal of a society blindly spiraling toward totalitarianism.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Animal Farm tells the story of a group of mistreated and exhausted animals who revolt against their cruel human overseer. Full of idealism, optimism, and inspiring slogans, they strive to build a new society founded on justice, equality, and genuine progress. Yet, what follows is one of literature’s most revealing parables, a bitterly ironic adult fable depicting how revolutionary ideals can be betrayed and transformed into an equally oppressive tyranny.

At the time of its publication, Orwell’s work was clearly aimed at exposing the reality of Stalin’s Soviet Russia. However, today it remains vividly relevant, reminding readers everywhere that freedom is always at risk, no matter the motive or justification. With devastating wit and piercing insight, Animal Farm continues to deliver a critical, compelling message for modern audiences.
