THE AUTHORATITIVE TEXT
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. 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.
Remains our great satire of the darker face of modern history
Animal Farm has seen off all the opposition. It's as valid as today as it was fifty years ago
It immediately established itself in the reader's imagination, and in the reader's political discourse. The book will survive all its editions
Surely one of the greatest works of literature of the 20th century, delivering truths about politics that remain, to this hour, horribly disturbing
To say that I was horrified by this book is an understatement… The whole experience was deeply disturbing to me, but I am forever grateful to Orwell for alerting me early to the danger flags I've tried to watch out for since
