"It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine". So wrote George Orwell in the original blurb for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. His simple and tragic fable, describes what happens when the animals drive out Mr Jones, the farmer, and attempt to run the Manor Farm themselves.

Animal Farm has become a world-famous classic of English prose, and is a strong political allegory with parallels to the old Soviet regime.

Reader Simon Callow is a British actor with a firmly-established reputation for impeccable performance on-stage, on-screen, and on audiobook.

Reviews

"Callow somehow manages to give a simultaneous multilevel interpretation suited to all ages. What a pro."
"Simon Callow's remarkable narration brings out the many layers of Orwell's fable...Brilliant."
"If 'peerless prose' could apply to one writer alone, I'd accord it to Orwell."
"I grew up with George Orwell . . . I gobbled up the adventures of Napoleon and Snowball . . . I'm forever grateful to Orwell for alerting me early to the danger flags I've tried to watch out for since . . . Spectacular" (MARGARET ATWOOD)

George Orwell crafted an amazing book that mustn't be missed. Along with 1984, Orwell manages to expose the true meaning of Stalinism, his works deserving to be thought in every school in every country that pretends to be liberal and democratic.

Also, the narration by Simon Callow is beyond any expectations, managing to deliver the strong moments of the book using the funny voices of the animals, expanding upon the already well written personalities of the characters in this book.

All in all, I consider this book a must-listen for everyone in love with history and politics.

One of the best books I've ever listened to
