The Soviet Union had become Britain’s ally in the war against Nazi Germany, and criticism of Stalin’s brutal regime was either censored or discouraged. In any case, many intellectuals on the left still celebrated the Soviet Union, claiming that the terrors of its show trials, summary executions and secret police were either exaggerated or necessary. But, to Orwell, Stalin was always a “disgusting murderer” and he wanted to remind people of this fact in a powerful and memorable way. But how to do it? A political essay would never reach a wide enough audience; a traditional novel would take too long to write. Orwell hit on the inspired idea of combining the moralism of the traditional ‘beast fable’ with the satire of Gulliver’s Travels . A group of farmyard animals, led by the pigs, overthrow their human masters. Their revolution is inspired by high ideals: the farm will be run in the interests of its animals with no more slaughtering, plenty of food for all and comfort in retirement. But when Napoleon the pig takes command, he quickly corrupts their principles, creating a new tyranny worse than the old. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in the middle of the Second World War, but at first no publishers wanted to touch it. It was finally published in August 1945, once the war was over. This little book quickly became a seminal text in the emerging ‘cold war’ (a phrase that Orwell himself coined). It also became a site of that conflict itself, suffering various attempts to subvert or change its meaning. Today, Animal Farm remains a powerful fable about the nature of tyranny and corruption which applies for all ages. Our edition also includes the following essays: Shooting an Elephant; Charles Dickens; Inside the Whale; The Frontiers of Art and Propaganda; Literature and Totalitarianism; Fascism and Democracy; Patriots and Revolutionaries; Catastrophic Gradualism; Some Thoughts on the Common Toad; Why I Write; Writers and Leviathan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 12.9 x 1.9 x 19.8 cm | | Isbn 10 | 1840228032 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1840228038 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 256 pages | | Publication Date | 1 Jan. 2021 | | Publisher | Wordsworth Editions | ## Images ![Animal Farm (Wordsworth Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713xFut8vZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 April 2026* Very poignant to what we are experiencing today ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice quality paperback of a classic tale.

I saw Aminal Farm at my daughter's school as one of "50 books to read before you leave primary school" so would have preferred one with a nice simple introduction then the story. ## Frequently Bought Together - Animal Farm (Wordsworth Classics) - 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four: New Edition of the Twentieth Century's Dystopian Masterpiece (Polygon Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/363433111-animal-farm-wordsworth-classics](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/363433111-animal-farm-wordsworth-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
