The animals of Manor Farm have revolted and taken over. Upon the death of Old Major, pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead a revolt against Mr. Jones, driving him from the farm. The animals embrace the Seven Commandments of Animalism and life carries on, but they learn that a farm ruled by animals looks more human than ever. Intended as a critique of Stalinist-era Russia, Orwell’s satirical novella Animal Farm is one of his greatest literary achievements. Animal Farm was chosen as one of Time magazine’s 100 best English-language novels, and won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996. Since 1832, Mariner Books has launched an incomparable roster of landmark works and enduring classics, including 1984 and Animal Farm. This Mariner Classics edition of Animal Farm is authorized by the Orwell Estate. Review: very relevant book for the times we live in - Well written and just a great perspective. In a time of doom scrolling this book is full of insight and clear description of the world we live in - run by pigs. Review: A powerful read - The book was an amazing thought provoking read! It tells an important story about how hope can be a powerful motivator even in the face of extreme hardship. But also, how greed and power is never too far away, and a faithful ally can easily become an opportunist oppressor. I really enjoyed how the book was written, using plain and easy to understand language to unpack important issues in society. I also enjoyed the themes explored in this book of greed, power, civil unrest, distrust and corruption. The author did an impeccable job at highlighting the importance of literacy. Reading is political and illiteracy can be a vital tool of control. More than 75 years since George Orwell wrote Animal Farm, inspired by the events of the Russia Revolution, it’s crazy to know we’re still seeing remmenants of the same greed and corruption today. The unrestful desire to dispute the status quo for something better, for something where there is mutual gain and ensures equality. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 4 in Political Fiction (Books) 8 in Parodies (Books) 10 in Satires | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 107,420 Reviews | ## Images ![Animal Farm: (Authorized Orwell Edition)―A Mariner Books Classic (An HBJ modern classic) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Uo2a0UkHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very relevant book for the times we live in *by I***A on 13 September 2026* Well written and just a great perspective.

I felt I was missing out on something not only great, but also something that everyone would understand references to.. but me! Going into this story, I knew the gist of it, and after reading the first chapter, I know it was going to be a quick read. I know why they read it in year 8 - it is such a simple political allegory to follow! However, the simplicity of the text is not to be criticized, because it actually highlights Orwell's genius! To be able to so concisely write about revolution (with particular reference to the Soviet revolution) and yet make it comprehensible to people of varying reading age/ability, backgrounds, and education is remarkable. This is a story with a point - a warning - about particular aspects of revolution, totalitarianism and fascism, and yet both a 10 year old and a 60 year old can get message through the same enjoyment. Like the book or not, it should be recognized for that great feat at least. I did enjoy it, a lot. The accompanying appendixes were also interesting - an insight into what Orwell thought about the censorship of his novella at the early stages of publication, and about literary censorship in general - as well as an interesting personal foreword that Orwell wrote for editions for displaced Ukrainians living in camps in Germany. The introduction by Malcolm Bradbury and the Notes on a Text by Peter Davison were both interesting insights to the reception of the novel, as well as some of the author's thoughts and commentary about the text. Well worth a read, though I chose to read it afterwards because there were a couple of spoilers. Overall, really good, and I will certainly read more Orwell in the future. It turns out I really did miss out all those years ago! ## Frequently Bought Together - Animal Farm - 1984: (Authorized Orwell Edition): A Mariner Books Classic - Fahrenheit 451 --- ## 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.jp/products/68666425-animal-farm-authorized-orwell-edition-a-mariner-books-classic-hbj](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/68666425-animal-farm-authorized-orwell-edition-a-mariner-books-classic-hbj) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
