Animal Farm

Handling time: 19 days 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. The animals are taught to read and write, but the dream turns sour, the purges begin and those in charge come more and more to resembletheir oppressors.Orwell's allegory of the Soviet revolution remains as lucid and compelling as ever. In beautifully clearprose, he gives us a vivid gallery of characters and a fable that conveys the truth about how we aremanipulated through language and the impossibility of finding heaven on earth.
