A perfect addition to any Orwell collection: the classic dystopian masterpiece beautifully reimagined by renowned street artist Shepard Fairey. ‘All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.’ Neglected and underfed by the drunken Mr Jones, the animals of Manor Farm rise up and seize control for themselves. Led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, the newly named Animal Farm promises equality for all who walk on four legs. But ideals are fragile things. As time passes, the principles of the revolution are quietly eroded, conveniently rewritten and ultimately abandoned – and something darker takes their place. First published in 1945, George Orwell’s brilliant satire on the corrupting nature of power has never lost its force. ‘Remains our great satire of the darker face of modern history’ Malcolm Bradbury ‘A prophet who thought the unthinkable and spoke the unspeakable, even when it offended conventional thought’ Daily Express ‘As valid today as it was fifty years ago’ Ralph Steadman COMPLETE THE TRIO WITH SHEPARD FAIREY’S NEW-LOOK 1984 AND DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON.
