Animal Farm by Dj Taylor

Animal Farm by Dj Taylor

A new edition of Orwell's savage satire of the Soviet Revolution, introduced and annotated by his biographer, D.J. Taylor

First published in 1945, just as the allied forces had begun to parcel up the post-war world, Orwell's satire of the Soviet Revolution was instantly acclaimed as a Cold War classic. Set in the English countryside in the early years of the twentieth century, this is the story of a rebellion that fails, carried out by revolutionaries who all too swiftly turn into the thing they were trying to destroy.

This new edition includes an introduction and extensive end-notes, and an appendix containing original responses to the novel as well as letters and documents from the period in which Animal Farm was written.

D. J. Taylor is a writer and critic. He is the author of the acclaimed biography Orwell: The Life, published in 2003 to coincide with the centenary of Orwell's birth. This book won the 2003 Whitbread Biography Award. His other books of non-fiction include A Vain Conceit: British fiction in the 1980s; Bright Young People: The Rise and Fall of a Generation 1918-1940 and, most recently, Lost Girls: Love, War and Literature: 1939-51. He is also the author of seven novels.
