Riassunto

L'edizione perfetta per la collezione di qualsiasi appassionato di Orwell, scopri il classico capolavoro distopico di Orwell splendidamente reinventato dal famoso street artist Shepard Fairey 'Tutti gli animali sono uguali. Ma alcuni animali sono più uguali di altri'. Il signor Jones di Manor Farm è così pigro e ubriaco che un giorno dimentica di dare da mangiare al suo bestiame. La ribellione che ne consegue sotto la guida dei maiali Napoleon e Snowball porta gli animali a prendere il controllo della fattoria. Giurando di eliminare le terribili ingiustizie del cortile della fattoria, la rinominata Fattoria degli animali viene organizzata per il beneficio di tutti coloro che camminano a quattro zampe. Ma con il passare del tempo, gli ideali della ribellione vengono corrotti, quindi dimenticati. Ed emerge qualcosa di nuovo e inaspettato. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1945, La fattoria degli animali, la storia di una rivoluzione andata male, è la brillante satira di George Orwell sull'influenza corruttrice del potere. 'Resta la nostra grande satira del volto più oscuro della storia moderna' Malcolm Bradbury 'Un profeta che pensava l'impensabile e diceva l'indicibile, anche quando offendeva il pensiero convenzionale' Daily Express 'Valido oggi come lo era cinquant'anni fa' Ralph Steadman COMPLETA IL TRIANGOLO CON IL NUOVO LOOK DEL 1984 DI SHEPARD FAIREY E DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDRA.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Animal Farm, by George Orwell - author of 1984, one of Britain's most popular novels - is a brilliant political satire and a powerful and affecting story of revolutions and idealism, power and corruption. 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.' Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. 'Remains our great satire of the darker face of modern history' Malcolm Bradbury 'Animal Farm has seen off all the opposition. It's as valid as today as it was fifty years ago' Ralph Steadman George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) was an accomplished social, political and literary commentator and essayist known for his non-fiction works The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia. His most famous novels, Animal Farm and 1984 have influenced a generation of twentieth century political satirists and dystopian novelists. Animal Farm received the W. H. Smith and Penguin Books Great Reads of the century award in 1995; this edition of Orwell's seminal novella is introduced by Professor Peter Davidson.
