Description

THE BOOK. FREE. Animal Farm is an allegorical and dystopiannovellaby George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August1945.According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up totheRussian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era intheSoviet Union. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a criticofJoseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, anattitudethat was critically shaped by his experiences during theSpanishCivil War. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become abrutaldictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforcedby areign of terror. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, OrwelldescribedAnimal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin ("un contesatiriquecontre Staline"), and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946),he wrotethat Animal Farm was the first book in which he had tried,withfull consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse politicalpurposeand artistic purpose into one whole". The original title wasAnimalFarm: A Fairy Story, though the subtitle was dropped byU.S.publishers for its 1946 publication and subsequently all butone ofthe translations during Orwell's lifetime omitted it.Othervariations in the title include: A Satire and AContemporarySatire. Orwell suggested the title Union desrépubliquessocialistes animales for the French translation, whichabbreviatesto URSA, the Latin for "bear", a symbol of Russia, andwhichrecalled the French name of the Soviet Union, Union desrépubliquessocialistes soviétiques. Orwell wrote the book fromNovember 1943to February 1944, when the wartime alliance with theSoviet Unionwas at its height and Stalin was regarded highly by theBritishpeople and intelligentsia, a circumstance that Orwell hated.It wasinitially rejected by a number of British and Americanpublishers,including one of Orwell's own, Victor Gollancz. Itspublication wasthus delayed, though it became a great commercialsuccess when itdid finally appear partly because the Cold War soquickly followedWorld War II. Time magazine chose the book as oneof the 100 bestEnglish-language novels (1923 to 2005); it alsofeatured at number31 on the Modern Library List of Best20th-Century Novels. It won aRetrospective Hugo Award in 1996, andis also included in the GreatBooks of the Western World selection.---- Description taken fromWikipedia on 2015-05-23 Animal Farm, thebook by George Orwell, ison the public domain on Australia.
