Animal Farm (Arcturus Illustrated Classics)

'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.'

Revolution is in the air at Manor Farm after old Major, a prize boar, tells the other animals about his dream of freedom and teaches them to sing 'Beasts of England'. Mr Jones, the drunken farmer, is deposed and a committee of pigs takes over the running of the farm. But the dream turns sour, the purges begin and those in charge come more and more to resemble their oppressors.

With a series of delightgul illustrations that bring the author's vivid gallery of characters to life, Orwell's satire on totalitarianism remains as lucid and compelling as ever, conveying the truth about how we are manipulated through language and the impossibility of finding heaven on earth.
