Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell, kickoff published in England on 17 Baronial 1945.^{[1] [two]} The book tells the story of a grouping of subcontract animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can exist equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a country as bad equally it was before, under the dictatorship of a squealer named Napoleon.

According to Orwell, the fable reflects events leading upwards to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and so on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union.^{[3] [4]} Orwell, a democratic socialist,^[5] was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the May Days conflicts between the POUM and Stalinist forces during the Spanish Civil War.^{[6] [a]} In a letter of the alphabet to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm equally a satirical tale against Stalin (" un conte satirique contre Staline "),^[vii] and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), wrote that Animate being Farm was the first book in which he tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into 1 whole".^[viii]

The original title was Animal Farm: A Fairy Story, but U.Southward. publishers dropped the subtitle when it was published in 1946, and only i of the translations during Orwell's lifetime, the Telugu version, kept it. Other titular variations include subtitles like "A Satire" and "A Contemporary Satire".^[vii] Orwell suggested the championship Union des républiques socialistes animales for the French translation, which abbreviates to URSA, the Latin give-and-take for "bear", a symbol of Russia. Information technology also played on the French proper noun of the Soviet Union, Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques .^[vii]

Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and Feb 1944, when the Great britain was in its wartime alliance with the Soviet Union confronting Nazi Federal republic of germany, and the British intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem, a miracle Orwell hated.^[b] The manuscript was initially rejected by a number of British and American publishers,^[9] including 1 of Orwell'due south own, Victor Gollancz, which delayed its publication. It became a corking commercial success when it did appear partly considering international relations were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to the Cold War.^[10]

Time magazine chose the volume as ane of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005);^[11] it also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels,^[12] and number 46 on the BBC's The Big Read poll.^[13] It won a Retrospective Hugo Honor in 1996^[14] and is included in the Peachy Books of the Western World selection.^[15]

Plot summary [edit]

The poorly-run Manor Farm near Willingdon, England, is ripened for rebellion from its beast populace by neglect at the hands of the irresponsible and alcoholic farmer, Mr. Jones. I night, the exalted boar, Quondam Major, holds a conference, at which he calls for the overthrow of humans and teaches the animals a revolutionary vocal chosen "Beasts of England". When Erstwhile Major dies, two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, assume command and phase a defection, driving Mr. Jones off the farm and renaming the property "Animal Farm". They adopt the Seven Commandments of Animalism, the most important of which is, "All animals are equal". The decree is painted in big letters on one side of the barn. Snowball teaches the animals to read and write, while Napoleon educates young puppies on the principles of Animalism. To commemorate the start of Animal Farm, Snowball raises a dark-green flag with a white hoof and horn. Food is plentiful, and the farm runs smoothly. The pigs drag themselves to positions of leadership and set aside special food items, ostensibly for their personal wellness. Following an unsuccessful endeavour past Mr. Jones and his associates to retake the farm (later dubbed the "Battle of the Cowshed"), Snowball announces his plans to modernise the subcontract past building a windmill. Napoleon disputes this idea, and matters come to head, which culminate in Napoleon'due south dogs chasing Snowball away and Napoleon declaring himself supreme commander.

Napoleon enacts changes to the governance structure of the farm, replacing meetings with a committee of pigs who will run the farm. Through a young porker named Pig, Napoleon claims credit for the windmill thought, challenge that Snowball was merely trying to win animals to his side. The animals work harder with the promise of easier lives with the windmill. When the animals discover the windmill collapsed later a fierce storm, Napoleon and Squealer persuade the animals that Snowball is trying to demolition their project, and brainstorm to purge the farm of animals defendant past Napoleon of consorting with his old rival. When some animals recall the Boxing of the Cowshed, Napoleon (who was nowhere to be institute during the boxing) gradually smears Snowball to the betoken of saying he is a collaborator of Mr. Jones, fifty-fifty dismissing the fact that Snowball was given an award of backbone while falsely representing himself equally the main hero of the battle. "Beasts of England" is replaced with "Animate being Farm", while an anthem glorifying Napoleon, who appears to be adopting the lifestyle of a human ("Comrade Napoleon"), is composed and sung. Napoleon so conducts a second purge, during which many animals who are alleged to be helping Snowball in plots are executed by Napoleon's dogs, which troubles the rest of the animals. Despite their hardships, the animals are hands placated by Napoleon's retort that they are better off than they were under Mr. Jones, every bit well as by the sheep's continual bleating of "four legs good, 2 legs bad".

Mr. Frederick, a neighbouring farmer, attacks the farm, using blasting powder to blow upwards the restored windmill. Although the animals win the boxing, they do and so at dandy toll, as many, including Boxer the workhorse, are wounded. Although he recovers from this, Boxer eventually collapses while working on the windmill (existence virtually 12 years old at that indicate). He is taken away in a knacker'southward van, and a donkey chosen Benjamin alerts the animals of this, but Sus scrofa speedily waves off their alarm by persuading the animals that the van had been purchased from the knacker by an animal infirmary and that the previous owner's signboard had not been repainted. Grunter later reports Boxer's death and honours him with a festival the following solar day. (Yet, Napoleon had in fact engineered the sale of Boxer to the knacker, assuasive him and his inner circle to learn money to purchase whisky for themselves.)

Years pass, the windmill is rebuilt and some other windmill is synthetic, which makes the subcontract a adept amount of income. Yet, the ideals that Snowball discussed, including stalls with electric lighting, heating, and running h2o, are forgotten, with Napoleon advocating that the happiest animals alive simple lives. Snowball has been forgotten, alongside Boxer, with "the exception of the few who knew him". Many of the animals who participated in the rebellion are dead or old. Mr. Jones is also expressionless, saying he "died in an inebriates' home in some other office of the country". The pigs start to resemble humans, every bit they walk upright, carry whips, drinkable booze, and vesture wearing apparel. The 7 Commandments are abridged to just one phrase: "All animals are equal, merely some animals are more equal than others." The maxim "Iv legs good, ii legs bad" is similarly changed to "Four legs good, two legs ameliorate." Other changes include the Hoof and Horn flag being replaced with a plain green banner and Old Major'south skull, which was previously put on brandish, being reburied.

Napoleon holds a dinner party for the pigs and local farmers, with whom he celebrates a new brotherhood. He abolishes the practice of the revolutionary traditions and restores the name "The Manor Farm". The men and pigs beginning playing cards, flattering and praising each other while adulterous at the game. Both Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington, one of the farmers, play the Ace of Spades at the aforementioned fourth dimension and both sides brainstorm fighting loudly over who cheated first. When the animals exterior look at the pigs and men, they can no longer distinguish betwixt the two.

Characters [edit]

Pigs [edit]

• Sometime Major – An aged prize Middle White boar provides the inspiration that fuels the rebellion. He is also called Willingdon Beauty when showing. He is an allegorical combination of Karl Marx, one of the creators of communism, and Vladimir Lenin, the communist leader of the Russian Revolution and the early Soviet nation, in that he draws upward the principles of the revolution. His skull existence put on revered public display recalls Lenin, whose embalmed body was left in indefinite tranquillity.^[16] By the finish of the volume, the skull is reburied.
• Napoleon – "A large, rather trigger-happy-looking Berkshire boar, the merely Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, just with a reputation for getting his own way".^[17] An allegory of Joseph Stalin,^[16] Napoleon is the leader of Animal Farm.
• Snowball – Napoleon's rival and original head of the farm after Jones' overthrow. His life parallels that of Leon Trotsky,^[sixteen] but may also combine elements from Lenin.^{[18] [c]}
• Squealer – A small, white, fat porker who serves as Napoleon's second-in-command and minister of propaganda, property a position similar to that of Vyacheslav Molotov.^[16]
• Minimus – A poetic hog who writes the second and third national anthems of Creature Subcontract after the singing of "Beasts of England" is banned. Literary theorist John Rodden compares him to the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky.^[19]
• The piglets – Hinted to be the children of Napoleon and are the first generation of animals subjugated to his idea of animal inequality.
• The young pigs – Four pigs who complain about Napoleon'south takeover of the farm just are rapidly silenced and later executed, the first animals killed in Napoleon's farm purge. Probably based on the Keen Purge of Grigory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, Nikolai Bukharin, and Alexei Rykov.
• Pinkeye – A minor hog who is mentioned only once; he is the gustation tester that samples Napoleon's food to make certain it is not poisoned, in response to rumours about an bump-off attempt on Napoleon.

Humans [edit]

• Mr. Jones – A heavy drinker who is the original owner of Manor Farm, a farm in disrepair with farmhands who frequently loaf on the job. He is an allegory of Russian Tsar Nicholas 2,^[20] who abdicated following the Feb Revolution of 1917 and was murdered, forth with the residue of his family, by the Bolsheviks on 17 July 1918. The animals revolt later on Jones goes on a drinking binge, returns hungover the following twenty-four hour period and neglects them completely. Jones is married, but his married woman plays no agile role in the book. She seems to live with her married man'south drunkenness, going to bed while he stays up drinking till belatedly into the night. In her only other advent, she hastily throws a few things into a travel bag and flees when she sees that the animals are revolting. Towards the cease of the book, i of the farm sows wears her sometime Sunday dress.
• Mr. Frederick – The tough possessor of Pinchfield Subcontract, a small but well-kept neighbouring subcontract, who briefly enters into an alliance with Napoleon.^{[21] [22] [23] [24]} Animate being Subcontract shares state boundaries with Pinchfield on one side and Foxwood on another, making Animal Farm a "buffer zone" between the two bickering farmers. The animals of Animate being Farm are terrified of Frederick, as rumours grow of him abusing his animals and entertaining himself with cockfighting. Napoleon enters into an alliance with Frederick in order to sell surplus timber that Pilkington also sought, only is enraged to learn Frederick paid him in counterfeit money. Before long later on the swindling, Frederick and his men invade Animal Farm, killing many animals and destroying the windmill. The brief alliance and subsequent invasion may insinuate to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and Operation Barbarossa.^{[23] [25] [26]}
• Mr. Pilkington – The easy-going but crafty and well-to-do owner of Foxwood Farm, a large neighbouring farm overgrown with weeds. Pilkington is wealthier than Frederick and owns more state, but his farm is in need of care as opposed to Frederick's smaller but more efficiently run farm. Although on bad terms with Frederick, Pilkington is also concerned about the animate being revolution that deposed Jones and worried that this could too happen to him.
• Mr. Whymper – A man hired by Napoleon to human action as the liaison between Creature Farm and human club. At beginning, he is used to acquire necessities that cannot be produced on the farm, such as dog biscuits and paraffin wax, only later he procures luxuries like alcohol for the pigs.

Equines [edit]

• Boxer – A loyal, kind, dedicated, extremely strong, difficult-working, and respectable cart-horse, although quite naive and gullible.^[27] Boxer does a large share of the physical labour on the farm. He is shown to hold the belief that "Napoleon is always right." At ane point, he had challenged Squealer's statement that Snowball was ever confronting the welfare of the farm, earning him an assail from Napoleon'southward dogs. Simply Boxer's immense strength repels the assault, worrying the pigs that their authority can exist challenged. Boxer has been compared to Alexey Stakhanov, a diligent and enthusiastic role model of the Stakhanovite movement.^[28] He has been described as "faithful and strong";^[29] he believes whatsoever problem tin be solved if he works harder.^[30] When Boxer is injured, Napoleon sells him to a local knacker to buy himself whisky, and Squealer gives a moving account, falsifying Boxer's expiry.
• Mollie – A self-centred, self-indulgent, and vain young white mare who quickly leaves for another farm subsequently the revolution, in a way similar to those who left Russia after the fall of the Tsar.^[31] She is just once mentioned again.
• Clover – A gentle, caring mare, who shows concern especially for Boxer, who often pushes himself also hard. Clover can read all the letters of the alphabet, but cannot "put words together". She seems to catch on to the sly tricks and schemes fix up by Napoleon and Squealer.
• Benjamin – A ass, one of the oldest, wisest animals on the farm, and one of the few who tin read properly. He is sceptical, temperamental and cynical: his about frequent remark is, "Life will go on every bit it has ever gone on – that is, badly." The academic Morris Dickstein has suggested there is "a touch of Orwell himself in this creature's timeless scepticism"^[32] and indeed, friends called Orwell "Donkey George", "afterwards his grumbling ass Benjamin, in Creature Farm."^[33]

Other animals [edit]

• Muriel – A wise old goat who is friends with all of the animals on the farm. Similarly to Benjamin, Muriel is one of the few animals on the farm who is not a pig simply can read.
• The puppies – Offspring of Jessie and Bluebell, the puppies were taken abroad at birth by Napoleon and raised past him to serve every bit his powerful security strength.
• Moses – The Raven, "Mr. Jones'due south especial pet, was a spy and a tale-bearer, merely he was also a clever talker."^[34] Initially following Mrs. Jones into exile, he reappears several years later and resumes his role of talking simply not working. He regales Animal Subcontract's denizens with tales of a wondrous place beyond the clouds called "Sugarcandy Mountain, that happy country where we poor animals shall residual forever from our labours!" Orwell portrays established religion as "the black raven of priestcraft – promising pie in the heaven when y'all dice, and faithfully serving whoever happens to be in ability." His preaching to the animals heartens them, and Napoleon allows Moses to reside at the farm "with an allowance of a gill of beer daily", alike to how Stalin brought back the Russian Orthodox Church during the 2d World War.^[32]
• The sheep – They are not given individual names or personalities. They evidence limited understanding of Animalism and the political atmosphere of the farm, all the same nonetheless they are the voice of blind conformity^[32] as they bleat their support of Napoleon'southward ideals with jingles during his speeches and meetings with Snowball. Their constant bleating of "four legs skillful, two legs bad" was used as a device to drown out any opposition or alternative views from Snowball, much as Stalin used hysterical crowds to drown out Trotsky.^[35] Towards the end of the book, Squealer (the propagandist) trains the sheep to alter their slogan to "four legs proficient, two legs better", which they dutifully practise.
• The hens – Too unnamed, the hens are promised at the showtime of the revolution that they will go to continue their eggs, which are stolen from them nether Mr. Jones. Yet, their eggs are presently taken from them nether the premise of buying appurtenances from exterior Creature Farm. The hens are among the first to rebel, albeit unsuccessfully, against Napoleon.
• The cows – Too unnamed, the cows are enticed into the revolution past promises that their milk will non be stolen merely can be used to raise their own calves. Their milk is so stolen by the pigs, who acquire to milk them. The milk is stirred into the pigs' mash every day, while the other animals are denied such luxuries.
• The true cat – Unnamed and never seen to bear out any piece of work, the cat is absent for long periods and is forgiven because her excuses are so convincing and she "purred so affectionately that information technology was incommunicable not to believe in her practiced intentions."^[36] She has no interest in the politics of the farm, and the only fourth dimension she is recorded as having participated in an election, she is found to have actually "voted on both sides." ^[37]
• The ducks – Also unnamed.
• The roosters – One arranges to wake Boxer early, and a black one acts as a trumpeter for Napoleon.
• The geese – Likewise unnamed. One gander commits suicide by eating nightshade berries.

Genre and style [edit]

George Orwell'southward Animal Farm is an instance of a political satire that was intended to have a "wider application", according to Orwell himself, in terms of its relevance.^[38] Stylistically, the work shares many similarities with some of Orwell's other works, most notably Nineteen Eighty-Four, every bit both have been considered works of Swiftian satire.^[39] Furthermore, these ii prominent works seem to suggest Orwell'south bleak view of the futurity for humanity; he seems to stress the potential/electric current threat of dystopias similar to those in Fauna Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.^[twoscore] In these kinds of works, Orwell distinctly references the disarray and traumatic conditions of Europe following the 2d World State of war.^[41] Orwell's manner and writing philosophy every bit a whole were very concerned with the pursuit of truth in writing.^[42] Orwell was committed to communicating in a way that was straightforward, given the way that he felt words were unremarkably used in politics to deceive and confuse.^[42] For this reason, he is careful, in Animal Subcontract, to make sure the narrator speaks in an unbiased and simple manner.^[42] The difference is seen in the way that the animals speak and interact, every bit the generally moral animals seem to speak their minds clearly, while the wicked animals on the farm, such as Napoleon, twist language in such a manner that information technology meets their own insidious desires.^[42] This style reflects Orwell's close proximation to the issues facing Europe at the time and his determination to annotate critically on Stalin's Soviet Russia.^[42]

Background [edit]

Origin and writing [edit]

George Orwell wrote the manuscript between Nov 1943 and February 1944^[43] afterward his experiences during the Castilian Ceremonious State of war, which he described in Homage to Catalonia (1938). In the preface of a 1947 Ukrainian edition of Creature Farm, he explained how escaping the communist purges in Kingdom of spain taught him "how easily totalitarian propaganda can control the opinion of enlightened people in democratic countries."^[44] This motivated Orwell to betrayal and strongly condemn what he saw every bit the Stalinist corruption of the original socialist ideals.^[45] Homage to Catalonia sold poorly; afterwards seeing Arthur Koestler's best-selling, Darkness at Noon, most the Moscow Trials, Orwell decided that fiction was the best style to describe totalitarianism.^[46]

Immediately prior to writing the book, Orwell had quit the BBC. He was also upset about a booklet for propagandists the Ministry of Data had put out. The booklet included instructions on how to quell ideological fears of the Soviet Union, such as directions to merits that the Red Terror was a figment of Nazi imagination.^[47]

In the preface, Orwell described the source of the idea of setting the volume on a subcontract:^[45]

I saw a lilliputian boy, perhaps ten years old, driving a huge carthorse along a narrow path, whipping it whenever it tried to turn. It struck me that if merely such animals became enlightened of their strength nosotros should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat.

In 1944, the manuscript was virtually lost when a High german Five-1 flying bomb destroyed his London domicile. Orwell spent hours sifting through the rubble to find the pages intact.^[48]

Publication [edit]

Publishing [edit]

Orwell initially encountered difficulty getting the manuscript published, largely due to fears that the book might upset the brotherhood betwixt Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Spousal relationship. Four publishers refused to publish Animal Farm, yet one had initially accepted the piece of work, just declined it after consulting the Ministry of Information.^{[49] [d]} Eventually, Secker and Warburg published the first edition in 1945.

During the Second World War, it became clear to Orwell that anti-Soviet literature was not something which near major publishing houses would touch – including his regular publisher Gollancz. He also submitted the manuscript to Faber and Faber, where the poet T. S. Eliot (who was a manager of the business firm) rejected it; Eliot wrote dorsum to Orwell praising the volume's "good writing" and "fundamental integrity", but declared that they would only accept it for publication if they had some sympathy for the viewpoint "which I have to be more often than not Trotskyite". Eliot said he found the view "not convincing", and contended that the pigs were made out to be the all-time to run the farm; he posited that someone might argue "what was needed ... was not more than communism but more public-spirited pigs".^[l] Orwell let André Deutsch, who was working for Nicholson & Watson in 1944, read the typescript, and Deutsch was convinced that Nicholson & Watson would want to publish it; however, they did not, and "lectured Orwell on what they perceived to be errors in Animate being Farm."^[51] In his London Letter on 17 Apr 1944 for Partisan Review, Orwell wrote that information technology was "now next door to impossible to become anything overtly anti-Russian printed. Anti-Russian books do appear, only mostly from Cosmic publishing firms and always from a religious or frankly reactionary angle."

The publisher Jonathan Cape, who had initially accustomed Animal Farm, subsequently rejected the book after an official at the British Ministry of Information warned him off^[52] – although the civil servant who it is assumed gave the society was later on constitute to be a Soviet spy.^[53] Writing to Leonard Moore, a partner in the literary agency of Christy & Moore, publisher Jonathan Cape explained that the determination had been taken on the advice of a senior official in the Ministry of Information. Such flagrant anti-Soviet bias was unacceptable, and the choice of pigs as the dominant form was thought to be peculiarly offensive. It may reasonably exist assumed that the "important official" was a human named Peter Smollett, who was afterward unmasked as a Soviet agent.^[54] Orwell was suspicious of Smollett/Smolka, and he would exist 1 of the names Orwell included in his list of Crypto-Communists and Young man-Travellers sent to the Information Inquiry Department in 1949. The publisher wrote to Orwell, saying:^[52]

If the fable were addressed generally to dictators and dictatorships at large so publication would exist all right, but the legend does follow, as I see now, then completely the progress of the Russian Soviets and their two dictators [Lenin and Stalin], that it can apply only to Russia, to the exclusion of the other dictatorships.

Another affair: it would be less offensive if the predominant caste in the fable were not pigs. I call back the choice of pigs as the ruling caste volition no doubt give offence to many people, and peculiarly to anyone who is a scrap touchy, as undoubtedly the Russians are.

Frederic Warburg also faced pressures confronting publication, even from people in his own role and from his wife Pamela, who felt that it was not the moment for ingratitude towards Stalin and the Cerise Ground forces,^[55] which had played a major part in defeating Adolf Hitler. A Russian translation was printed in the paper Posev, and in giving permission for a Russian translation of Animal Subcontract, Orwell refused in advance all royalties. A translation in Ukrainian, which was produced in Germany, was confiscated in big role past the American wartime authorities and handed over to the Soviet repatriation commission.^[e]

In October 1945, Orwell wrote to Frederic Warburg expressing interest in pursuing the possibility that the political cartoonist David Low might illustrate Animal Farm. Depression had written a letter of the alphabet saying that he had had "a good time with Animal Farm – an excellent bit of satire – information technology would illustrate perfectly." Nothing came of this, and a trial event produced by Secker & Warburg in 1956 illustrated by John Driver was abased, but the Page Society published an edition in 1984 illustrated by Quentin Blake and an edition illustrated past the cartoonist Ralph Steadman was published past Secker & Warburg in 1995 to gloat the fiftieth anniversary of the first edition of Creature Farm.^{[56] [57]}

Preface [edit]

Orwell originally wrote a preface lament most British cocky-censorship and how the British people were suppressing criticism of the USSR, their World War 2 ally:

The sinister fact about literary censorship in England is that it is largely voluntary. ... Things are kept right out of the British press, not because the Regime intervenes but because of a general tacit agreement that "it wouldn't do" to mention that detail fact.

Although the first edition allowed space for the preface, it was non included,^[49] and as of June 2009 nigh editions of the volume have not included it.^[58]

Secker and Warburg published the first edition of Creature Farm in 1945 without an introduction. However, the publisher had provided space for a preface in the author's proof composited from the manuscript. For reasons unknown, no preface was supplied, and the page numbers had to exist renumbered at the last minute.^[49]

In 1972, Ian Angus found the original typescript titled "The Liberty of the Press", and Bernard Crick published it, together with his own introduction, in The Times Literary Supplement on 15 September 1972 as "How the essay came to be written".^[49] Orwell's essay criticised British self-censorship past the printing, specifically the suppression of unflattering descriptions of Stalin and the Soviet regime.^[49] The same essay also appeared in the Italian 1976 edition of Fauna Subcontract with another introduction past Crick, claiming to be the get-go edition with the preface. Other publishers were still declining to publish information technology.^{[ description needed ]}

Reception [edit]

Contemporary reviews of the work were not universally positive. Writing in the American New Republic magazine, George Soule expressed his disappointment in the book, writing that information technology "puzzled and saddened me. It seemed on the whole dull. The allegory turned out to be a creaking machine for maxim in a clumsy way things that have been said better direct." Soule believed that the animals were non consistent enough with their real-world inspirations, and said, "It seems to me that the failure of this book (commercially it is already assured of tremendous success) arises from the fact that the satire deals non with something the author has experienced, but rather with stereotyped ideas almost a land which he probably does non know very well".^[59]

The Guardian on 24 August 1945 called Fauna Farm "a delightfully humorous and caustic satire on the rule of the many past the few".^[60] Tosco Fyvel, writing in Tribune on the same 24-hour interval, called the book "a gentle satire on a certain Land and on the illusions of an historic period which may already exist behind us." Julian Symons responded, on 7 September, "Should we not expect, in Tribune at least, acknowledgement of the fact that it is a satire not at all gentle upon a item Land – Soviet Russia? It seems to me that a reviewer should have the courage to identify Napoleon with Stalin, and Snowball with Trotsky, and express an opinion favourable or unfavourable to the author, upon a political ground. In a hundred years time perhaps, Animal Subcontract may be simply a fairy story; today information technology is a political satire with a skillful bargain of point." Brute Farm has been subject to much comment in the decades since these early remarks.^[61]

The CIA, from 1952 to 1957 in Performance Aedinosaur, sent millions of balloons conveying copies of the novel into Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, whose air forces tried to shoot the balloons downwards.^[46]

Time magazine chose Animal Farm as 1 of the 100 best English-linguistic communication novels (1923 to 2005);^[xi] it also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library List of All-time 20th-Century Novels.^[12] Information technology won a Retrospective Hugo Honour in 1996 and is included in the Great Books of the Western World selection.^[15]

Pop reading in schools, Creature Farm was ranked the Great britain's favourite volume from school in a 2016 poll.^[62]

Animal Subcontract has besides faced an array of challenges in school settings effectually the US.^[63] The post-obit are examples of this controversy that has existed effectually Orwell's work:

• The John Birch Society in Wisconsin challenged the reading of Animal Farm in 1965 because of its reference to masses revolting.^{[63] [64]}
• New York State English language Council'due south Commission on Defense Against Censorship found that in 1968, Animal Farm had been widely deemed a "problem book".^[63]
• A censorship survey conducted in DeKalb County, Georgia, relating to the years 1979–1982, revealed that many schools had attempted to limit admission to Animal Subcontract due to its "political theories".^[63]
• A superintendent in Bay County, Florida, banned Animal Farm at the middle school and high school levels in 1987.^[63]
  • The Board rapidly brought back the book, however, subsequently receiving complaints of the ban as "unconstitutional".^[63]
• Animal Farm was removed from the Stonington, Connecticut school district curriculum in 2017.^[65]

Beast Subcontract has also faced similar forms of resistance in other countries.^[63] The ALA likewise mentions the way that the volume was prevented from being featured at the International Volume Fair in Moscow, Russia, in 1977 and banned from schools in the United Arab Emirates for references to practices or actions that defy Arab or Islamic beliefs, such as pigs or alcohol.^[63]

In the aforementioned manner, Brute Farm has also faced relatively recent issues in China. In 2018, the authorities made the decision to conscience all online posts about or referring to Animal Farm.^[66] However the volume itself, every bit of 2019, remains sold in stores. Amy Hawkins and Jeffrey Wasserstrom of The Atlantic stated in 2019 that the book is widely bachelor in Mainland China for several reasons: censors believe the general public is unlikely to read a highbrow book, because the elites who exercise read books feel connected to the ruling party anyhow, and because the Communist Party sees existence too aggressive in blocking cultural products as a liability. The authors stated "It was—and remains—as like shooting fish in a barrel to buy 1984 and Animate being Farm in Shenzhen or Shanghai every bit it is in London or Los Angeles."^[67] An enhanced version of the book, launched in India in 2017, was widely praised for capturing the author's intent, by republishing the proposed preface of the First Edition and the preface he wrote for the Ukrainian edition.^[68]

Analysis [edit]

Lust [edit]

"Seven Commandments" redirects hither. For the Noahide code, see Seven Laws of Noah.

The pigs Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer adapt Onetime Major'south ideas into "a complete system of thought", which they formally proper name Animalism, an allegoric reference to Communism, non to be confused with the philosophy Animalism. Before long afterward, Napoleon and Squealer partake in activities associated with the humans (drinking alcohol, sleeping in beds, trading), which were explicitly prohibited by the Seven Commandments. Squealer is employed to alter the Seven Commandments to account for this humanisation, an allusion to the Soviet government'due south revising of history in order to exercise control of the people's beliefs about themselves and their social club.^[69]

Squealer sprawls at the foot of the cease wall of the large befouled where the Seven Commandments were written (ch. viii) – preliminary artwork for a 1950 strip cartoon by Norman Pett and Donald Freeman

The original commandments are:

1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear dress.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animate being shall beverage alcohol.
6. No animate being shall kill whatever other brute.
7. All animals are equal.

These commandments are besides distilled into the maxim "Four legs good, two legs bad!" which is primarily used by the sheep on the subcontract, ofttimes to disrupt discussions and disagreements between animals on the nature of Animalism.

Afterward, Napoleon and his pigs secretly revise some commandments to articulate themselves of accusations of constabulary-breaking. The changed commandments are as follows, with the changes bolded:

4. No animal shall slumber in a bed with sheets.
5. No animal shall drinkable alcohol to excess.
6. No animal shall kill any other animate being without cause.

Eventually, these are replaced with the maxims, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more than equal than others", and "Four legs good, two legs better" every bit the pigs go more human being. This is an ironic twist to the original purpose of the Seven Commandments, which were supposed to keep order within Animal Subcontract by uniting the animals together against the humans and preventing animals from post-obit the humans' evil habits. Through the revision of the commandments, Orwell demonstrates how just political dogma can be turned into malleable propaganda.^[seventy]

Significance and apologue [edit]

The Horn and Hoof flag described in the book appears to be based on the hammer and sickle, the Communist symbol. By the end of the book when Napoleon takes full command, the Hoof and Horn is removed from the flag.

Orwell biographer Jeffrey Meyers has written, "most every detail has political significance in this allegory."^[71] Orwell himself wrote in 1946, "Of grade I intended it primarily every bit a satire on the Russian revolution ... [and] that kind of revolution (tearing conspiratorial revolution, led by unconsciously power-hungry people) tin only lead to a alter of masters [-] revolutions only outcome a radical improvement when the masses are warning."^[72] In a preface for a 1947 Ukrainian edition, he stated, "for the by ten years I have been convinced that the destruction of the Soviet myth was essential if we wanted a revival of the socialist movement. On my return from Spain [in 1937] I thought of exposing the Soviet myth in a story that could be hands understood by well-nigh anyone and which could be easily translated into other languages."^[73]

The revolt of the animals against Farmer Jones is Orwell's analogy with the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. The Battle of the Cowshed has been said to represent the allied invasion of Soviet Russia in 1918,^[26] and the defeat of the White Russians in the Russian Civil War.^[25] The pigs' rise to preeminence mirrors the rise of a Stalinist hierarchy in the USSR, merely as Napoleon's emergence as the farm's sole leader reflects Stalin's emergence.^[27] The pigs' cribbing of milk and apples for their own employ, "the turning point of the story" every bit Orwell termed it in a letter to Dwight Macdonald,^[72] stands equally an analogy for the crushing of the left-wing 1921 Kronstadt defection against the Bolsheviks, ^[72] and the hard efforts of the animals to build the windmill suggest the various 5 Year Plans. The puppies controlled past Napoleon parallel the nurture of the secret police in the Stalinist structure, and the pigs' treatment of the other animals on the subcontract recalls the internal terror faced past the populace in the 1930s.^[74] In chapter seven, when the animals confess their non-existent crimes and are killed, Orwell straight alludes to the purges, confessions and evidence trials of the late 1930s. These contributed to Orwell's conviction that the Bolshevik revolution had been corrupted and the Soviet system go rotten.^[75]

Peter Edgerly Firchow and Peter Davison fence that the Boxing of the Windmill, specifically referencing the Boxing of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow, represents Globe State of war II.^{[25] [26]} During the battle, Orwell first wrote, "All the animals, including Napoleon" took cover. Orwell had the publisher alter this to "All the animals except Napoleon" in recognition of Stalin'due south decision to remain in Moscow during the German advance.^[76] Orwell requested the change after he met Józef Czapski in Paris in March 1945. Czapski, a survivor of the Katyn Massacre and an opponent of the Soviet regime, told Orwell, as Orwell wrote to Arthur Koestler, that information technology had been "the character [and] greatness of Stalin" that saved Russia from the German language invasion.^[f]

Front row (left to correct): Rykov, Skrypnyk, and Stalin – 'When Snowball comes to the crucial points in his speeches he is drowned out by the sheep (Ch. V), merely as in the political party Congress in 1927 [in a higher place], at Stalin's instigation 'pleas for the opposition were drowned in the continual, hysterically intolerant uproar from the flooring'. (Isaac Deutscher^[77])

Other connections that writers have suggested illustrate Orwell's telescoping of Russian history from 1917 to 1943^{[78] [chiliad]} include the wave of rebelliousness that ran through the countryside after the Rebellion, which stands for the bootless revolutions in Hungary and in Germany (Ch IV); the disharmonize between Napoleon and Snowball (Ch V), parallelling "the two rival and quasi-Messianic beliefs that seemed pitted confronting 1 another: Trotskyism, with its faith in the revolutionary vocation of the proletariat of the West; and Stalinism with its glorification of Russia's socialist destiny";^[79] Napoleon's dealings with Whymper and the Willingdon markets (Ch Half-dozen), paralleling the Treaty of Rapallo; and Frederick's forged bank notes, parallelling the Hitler-Stalin pact of August 1939, later on which Frederick attacks Animal Subcontract without warning and destroys the windmill.^[23]

The volume'southward shut, with the pigs and men in a kind of rapprochement, reflected Orwell'due south view of the 1943 Tehran Briefing^[h] that seemed to display the establishment of "the all-time possible relations between the USSR and the West" – just in reality were destined, equally Orwell presciently predicted, to continue to unravel.^[80] The disagreement between the allies and the kickoff of the Cold War is suggested when Napoleon and Pilkington, both suspicious, each "played an ace of spades simultaneously".^[76]

Similarly, the music in the novel, starting with "Beasts of England" and the later anthems, parallels "The Internationale" and its adoption and repudiation by the Soviet authorities as the anthem of the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s.^[81]

Adaptations [edit]

Stage productions [edit]

In 2021, the National Youth Theatre toured a stage version of Brute Farm.^[82]

A solo version, adapted and performed past Guy Masterson, premièred at the Traverse Theatre Edinburgh in January 1995 and has toured worldwide since.^{[83] [84]}

A theatrical version, with music by Richard Peaslee and lyrics past Adrian Mitchell, was staged at the National Theatre London on 25 April 1984, directed past Peter Hall. It toured nine cities in 1985.^[85]

A new adaptation written and directed by Robert Icke, designed by Bunny Christie with puppetry designed and directed by Toby Olié opened at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in January 2022 before touring the UK.^[86]

Films [edit]

Animal Subcontract has been adjusted to film twice. Both differ from the novel and have been accused of taking significant liberties, including sanitising some aspects.^[87]

• Animate being Farm (1954) is an animated film, in which Napoleon is eventually overthrown in a second revolution. In 1974, East. Howard Hunt revealed that he had been sent past the CIA'due south Psychological Warfare department to obtain the moving-picture show rights from Orwell's widow, and the resulting 1954 animation was funded by the agency.^[88]
• Animal Farm (1999) is a live-action TV version that shows Napoleon'south regime collapsing in on itself, with the subcontract having new homo owners, reflecting the collapse of Soviet communism.^[89]

Andy Serkis is directing a film adaptation for Netflix, with Matt Reeves producing.^[90] Serkis began work on the picture show after finishing directing duties for Venom: Let There Be Carnage.^[91]

Radio dramatisations [edit]

A BBC radio version, produced past Rayner Heppenstall, was circulate in January 1947. Orwell listened to the product at his home in Canonbury Square, London, with Hugh Gordon Porteous, amongst others. Orwell later wrote to Heppenstall that Porteous, "who had not read the book, grasped what was happening after a few minutes."^[92]

A further radio production, again using Orwell's ain dramatisation of the book, was broadcast in January 2013 on BBC Radio 4. Tamsin Greig narrated, and the cast included Nicky Henson as Napoleon, Toby Jones as the propagandist Sus scrofa, and Ralph Ineson every bit Boxer.^[93]

Comic strip [edit]

Foreign Function copy of the first instalment of Norman Pett's Animal Farm comic strip. This case was commissioned past the Information Inquiry Department, a clandestine wing of the Foreign Office which dealt with disinformation, pro-colonial, and anti-communist propaganda during the Cold War

In 1950, Norman Pett and his writing partner Don Freeman were secretly hired by the Data Research Department (IRD), a secret wing of the British Strange Office, to adapt Animal Farm into a comic strip. This comic was not published in the U.Chiliad. but ran in Brazilian and Burmese newspapers.^[94]

Books [edit]

• Gulliver's Travels was a favourite book of Orwell'south. Swift reverses the role of horses and human being beings in the fourth book. Orwell brought to Animal Farm "a dose of Swiftian misanthropy, looking ahead to a time 'when the human being race had finally been overthrown.'"^[75]
• Bunt (Defection), published in 1924, is a volume past Polish Nobel laureate Władysław Reymont with a theme similar to Animal Farm 's.
