Animal Farm

All animals are equal. But some are moe equal than others. Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. The book reflects the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and February 1944, when the UK was in the wartime alliance with the Soviet Union and the British people and the intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem, a phenomenon Orwell hated. The manuscript was initially rejected by a number of British and American publishers, including one od Orwell's own, Victor Gollancz, which delayed its publication. It became a great commercial success when it did appear partly because international relations were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to ther Cold War. Time magazine chose the books as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005 ); it is also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century novels. It won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996, and is also included in the Great Books of the Westren World selection.
