'ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL. BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS'
They are fenced-in and caged, robbed of the fruits of their labour. The animals on Manor Farm have had enough. They start a revolution - for a just world, in which all animals are free and equal. But when some animals are more equal than others, freedom is a short-lived dream.
George Orwell's masterwork is one of the most urgent literary wake-up calls.
"Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity ..." Old Major

- »Truly a timeless classic that speaks so much of human nature. Plus, it's quaint farmyard setting makes this a very British book, lucky enough to have become a global phenomenon.« The Guardian
- »It tells the story of class struggle, the abuse of power, and the ideas of freedom.« Medium
- »George Orwell's warnings from '1984' and 'Animal' Farm are more relevant than ever today. With surveillance, misinformation, and media control at unprecedented levels, Orwell's insights serve as a powerful reminder to defend truth and individual freedoms.« Times Now
