Sinopsis
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned – a razor edged fairy tale for grown ups that records the evolution from the revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When animal farm was first published fifty years ago, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece has a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
“A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times.”
-New York Times
“Absolutely first rate...comparable to Voltaire and Swift.”
-Edmund Wilson, in The New Yorker
