75週年紀念版－包含Téa Obreht撰寫的全新序言
喬治‧歐威爾這部永恆又貼切的寓言小說，以尖銳的諷刺筆觸，刻畫了一個飽受壓迫的社會盲目走向極權主義的歷程。
“所有動物一律平等，但有些動物比其他動物更平等。”
一個農場被勞累過度、飽受虐待的動物們接管。它們懷著熾熱的理想主義和激動人心的口號，著手創造一個進步、正義和平等的天堂。由此，一部有史以來最諷刺的寓言故事——一個充滿鋒芒的成人童話，記錄了從反抗暴政的革命到同樣可怕的極權主義的演變過程。
《動物農莊》首次出版時，史達林統治下的俄羅斯被視為其目標。今天，有一點十分清楚：無論何時何地，自由在何種旗幟下受到攻擊，喬治·奧威爾這部傑作中尖銳的清晰度和野蠻的喜劇性仍然具有極其鮮明的意義和信息。
75th Anniversary Edition—Includes a New Introduction by Téa Obreht
George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire of a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
