Publisher Description
"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella by George Orwell published in England on August 17, 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to and during the Stalin era before World War II. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, especially after his experiences with the NKVD, and what he saw of the results of the influence of Communist policy (“ceaseless arrests, censored newspapers, prowling hordes of armed police” — “Communism is now a counter-revolutionary force”), during the Spanish Civil War. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as his novel “contre Stalin.” Features a new introduction.

Length
I find that this novel was too short and did not make any sense
Interesting, especially now!
This book is esapecially intersting now, in view of what has happened to the USSR and is now happening between Russia, the NATA countries and the Ukraine.
Too bad...
There are so many mistakes in the text... it is becoming annoying... Too bad. This was supposed to be a good book...
