About this eBook
George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is a powerful allegorical novella that explores the rise and fall of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human owner. Written in Orwell's signature straightforward and engaging style, the book serves as a critique of the Russian Revolution and a reflection on the nature of power and corruption. Through the anthropomorphism of animals, Orwell vividly portrays the complexities of political systems and the dangers of authoritarianism. The timeless themes of oppression, manipulation, and disillusionment make 'Animal Farm' a compelling and thought-provoking read for readers of all ages. Orwell's clever use of satire and symbolism adds depth to the narrative, making it a classic work of literature that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences.
About the author
George Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair on June 25, 1903 in Motihari in Bengal, India and later studied at Eton College for four years. He was an assistant superintendent with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma. He left that position after five years and moved to Paris, where he wrote his first two books: Burmese Days and Down and Out in Paris and London. He then moved to Spain to write but decided to join the United Workers Marxist Party Militia. After being decidedly opposed to communism, he served in the British Home Guard and with the Indian Service of the BBC during World War II. After the war, he wrote for the Observer and was literary editor for the Tribune. His best known works are Animal Farm and 1984. His other works include A Clergyman's Daughter, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, The Road to Wigan Pier, Homage to Catalonia, and Coming Up for Air. He died on January 21, 1950 at the age of 46.
