Book
Animal farm : a fairy story / by George Orwell ; with a foreword by Ann Patchett ; introduction by Téa Obreht ; afterword by Russell Baker.
In his story of downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality, George Orwell gave us one of the most scathing satiric fables every written. As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, Animal Farm is a parable about would-be liberators everywhere. As we witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals through the lens of our own history, we see the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organizations; and in our most charismatic leaders, the souls of our most charismatic oppressors.
