Animal Farm by George Orwell (English) Paperback Book

The Nile on eBay   Animal Farm by George Orwell, Ian Wooldridge

George Orwell's 1945 satire on the perils of Stalinism has proved magnificently long-lived as a parable about totalitarianism anywhere – and has given the world at least one immortal phrase: `Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others. This powerful new dramatisation sticks very closely to the book.
