Animal farm

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. The animals at Manor Farm have had enough of Farmer Jones - he's drunk, reckless and cares little for their welfare. When the boar, Old Major, shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can thrive on their own once the despot Jones is removed. But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to bear an uncanny resemblance to the tyrants they have overthrown ? George Orwell's renowned fable and satirical portrait of politics became an instant success upon its publication after the Second World War. The novel has continued to captivate readers of all ages, and has secured Orwell's position as one of the great writers of the twentieth century.
