description: One of the Great Books of our time. "Absolutely first rate, cleverly conceived and delightfully written, easy and diverting style, and delightfully humorous" - these are some of the adjectives used by the world's top critics and newspapers to describe "Animal Farm", the world-renowned and hilarious attack on totalitarian governments by George Orwell, the brilliant author of 1984. You will chuckle and burst into laughter, you will sympathize with the oppressed and want to shout out your protest at their dictator, and you will end up by thinking this is one of the best books you have ever read. You will agree with the Saturday Review which said it is "Splendid...never once lags from beginning to end."
