George Orwell first published his satire of the Communist party, Animal Farm, August 17, 1945. The original title was Animal Farm: A Fairy Story but US publishers dropped the subtitle, but other variations included subtitles like "A Satire" and "A Contemporary Satire".
According to the author, Animal Farm reflects events leading to the Russian Revolution in 1917 and then the introduction of communism into the Soviet Union.
Time chose it as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923-2005).
I'm going to let Sparky Sweets, PhD, give his unique perspective and review of Animal Farm below. Nobody says it like he does.
