Product Description

At once an allegory for both utopia and totalitarianism, Animal Farm is a story that expresses a dismal view of humans and their attempts to create a just society without compassion, history, and nonviolence. Orwell's book is decidedly anti-utopian and yet an unforgettable morality tale that entertains as it teaches.

This concise supplement to Orwell's Animal Farm helps students understand the overall structure of the work, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.

A Great Book
An overall spectacular book about a group of rebellious animals who take over their farm from the humans. The book brilliantly satirizes the Russian revolution and is highly entertaining, while at the same time very educational. A must have for any book lover.

This is a very good political book.
I think Animal Farm is a very good book. I like how this book shows the good intentions and poor results of communism. Communism is described very well in this book. Mick, Grade 8

Great book, but you should be careful.
Hi. My name is Lee. I am a Korean. It seems that many reviews show that this book gives us the reason that communism does not works well and doomed to fail. I think that the word "communism" should be replaced by the word "totalitarianism". Of course, social system under the dictators like Stalin, Hitler or any other leaders who ignore personal right should be hated and destroyed. But this book does not deny the needs of progress and reforms to our society. This book does not justify this real world full of unjustice done by the "fat pigs". That was not the purpose of the author.
