Animal Farm is a story of an English Farm ?Manor?, owned by Mr. Jones. The drunken owner and his incompetent and lazy workers ill-treat the animals and one day forget to feed them. Fed up with the ignorance of their human masters, the animals rise up in rebellion and take over the farm, under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball. Now called as the ?Animal Farm?, they vow to eliminate the terrible inequalities of all the inhabitants and work for their welfare. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And then the story takes an unexpected turn. Animal Farm is an allegorical fiction and a classic political satire on Russian revolution and on the corrupting influence of power. The novel is as valid today as it was when it was written in 1943. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Time magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005); it also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels. It won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996. Embassy Books proudly presents this book as part of the Embassy Classics Series, which comprises of some of the finest literary works of great authors.
