Animal Farm: Orwell’s disturbing political satire introduced by Christopher Hitchens (Vintage Classics)

'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others'Mr Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is a lazy drunk. The animals decide to overthrow him in a revolution that will allow them to run the farm, liberating themselves and creating a new life of equality and freedom. But they have underestimated the pigs. Napoleon and Snowball form an elite and take control for themselves, and the tyranny of the farmer is replaced with another kind of control leaving the animals again subject to a ruthless and cruel authority. Imagined only as Orwell could, this powerful fable is instilled with hu mour and an underlying urgency that makes this one of the most prescient warnings ever written. 'Surely one of the greatest works of literature of the 20th century, delivering truths about politics that remain, to this hour, horribly disturbing' The TimesWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS EAN: 9781784878986 Farbverschnitt: Generell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.
