75th Anniversary Edition—Includes a New Introduction by Téa Obreht George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire of a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh. With a foreword by Ann Patchett Review: Great book - Animal Farm is a very interesting and easy-to-read book, with a story that hooks you right from the start. I really liked how it uses animals to convey profound messages about society, power, and politics. It features memorable characters and offers a lesson that invites reflection even after you’ve finished reading it. It is a short read, yet one packed with meaning. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys intelligent books with thought-provoking messages. Review: A must-read classic—every teenager should read this book at least once. - A powerful and eye-opening classic that still feels incredibly relevant today. Animal Farm uses a simple story to reveal deeper truths about power, control, and society. It’s an easy, engaging read, but it really makes you think. I genuinely believe every teenager should read this at least once—it helps you see the world more critically and understand how easily things can be manipulated.

Great read
Loved the book when I was in school. A great story, that applies to todays world as it did when Orwell first wrote it. Reading it again before giving it to my Granddaughter to let her also see the evils of socialism and communism.

A classic, whose relevance today is as much as when it was written.
You don't have to be a historian of WWII or the Cold War to understand this psychological study of what can happen when some actors decide to take over, because they feel they are superior and have the right--even the obligation--to rule over the others.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Great story! Nothing I say in this review can say anything that has not already been said better by so many people before me. Therefore I will just say that this specific clothbound classic edition is of the quality and beauty worthy of this classic story!

Story line is really fascinating.
Story line is really fascinating in terms of how Orwell built the whole imaginary world but yet logical and convincing.

Mükemmel kalite. Jet hızında kargo
Bir günde ürün teslim etmek nasıl bir kalitedir nasıl bir hizmet anlayışıdır ben anlam veremiyorum ve bunu anlatacak kelimede bulamıyorum. Mükemmel. Keşke her aradığım şeyi amazondan bulupta amazondan alabilsem. Teşekkürler
