"George Orwell's biting satire, adapted by Nelson Bond. Animal Farm is a fable with a sting. Millions of words have been written about the threat of Totalitarianism, but it remained to the late George Orwell, farsighted British author of the brilliant and frightening 1984, to expose the Russian experiment for what it really is: an idealist's dream, converted by realists into a nightmare. In Nelson Bond's simple staged dramatic reading version of this timely allegory you will meet beasts whose prototypes have dominated news headlines for a half hundred fearful years. Opening on a note of joyous triumph for the creatures who have emancipated themselves from the cruel mastery of a human owner, the reading mounts inexorably to a climax of disillusionment in which the other animals discover themselves now subject to the rule of even more ruthless autocrats: the greedy, cunning pigs."--Publisher's description.

"Best way to understand the book is to learn Russian history. The novel is quite easier when you understand that it represents the Russian revolution"

"Now I read this when I was 15. I chose to read it and I loved it. It was an excellent work that described communism in a satirical way. My favorite quote is “all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” It hit me differently then than it does now. Back then it was status. Rich poor type stuff. Now In this country it’s racism. It’s still applicable. "

"I think this book is more important than the Bible right now. This has the ability to start the deprogramming most people need. classics #"
