The need to assert ordinariness against power, decency against history, scepticism against authority, moral anxiety against political deceit, true prose against propaganda; he is George Orwell, the author of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But as a cunning, ruthless élite among them starts to take control, the other animals find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is gradually replaced with another. Orwell’s chilling ‘fairy story’ is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.
After 50 years, this book remains as a great satire of any kind of totalitarism.

As it is in English, I will not release the book into the wild in Spain, but if someone is interested in it, just send me a message and Animal Farm will be released.

Just finished reading the book.
This is a real Classic. Loved the story, characters.... everything.
No matter how many years ago this book was written, it is still updated.

This is a great edition of the book, with several “extras”.

It is now available for whomever wants it.
