All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. The animals at Manor Farm have had enough of Farmer Jones – he’s drunk, reckless and cares little for their welfare. When the boar, Old Major, shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can thrive on their own once the despot Jones is removed. But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to bear an uncanny resemblance to the tyrants they have overthrown … George Orwell’s renowned fable and satirical portrait of politics became an instant success upon its publication after the Second World War. The novel has continued to captivate readers of all ages, and has secured Orwell’s position as one of the great writers of the twentieth century. Review: A short read classic. - A short story and often spoken about, a true classic that will get you thinking. It’s of it’s time but makes sense in any era. 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. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 678 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Satires 4 in Parodies (Books) 6 in Political Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 107,387 Reviews | ## Images ![Animal Farm: An essential, best-loved classic (Collins Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619GyNyTTKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A short read classic. *by P***Y on 16 June 2026* A short story and often spoken about, a true classic that will get you thinking.

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: The Internationally Best selling Classic from the Author of 1984 (Collins Classics) - 1984 - Metamorphosis --- ## 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.ar/products/251385433-animal-farm-an-essential-best-loved-classic-collins-classics](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/251385433-animal-farm-an-essential-best-loved-classic-collins-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
