Animal Farm: The Graphic Novel
A beautiful graphic adaptation of George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
In 1945, George Orwell, called "the conscience of his generation," created an enduring, devastating story of new tyranny replacing old, and power corrupting even the noblest of causes. Today it is all too clear that Orwell's masterpiece is still fiercely relevant wherever cults of personality thrive, truths are twisted by those in power, and freedom is under attack. In this fully authorized edition, the artist Odyr translates the world and message of Animal Farm into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel.
Old Major, Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball, Boxer, and all the creatures of Animal Farm come to life in this newly envisaged classic. From his individual brushstrokes to the freedom of his page design, Odyr's adaptation seamlessly moves between satire and fable and will appeal to all ages, just as Orwell intended.

This was an interesting read that I did not have the pleasure of reading all in school. I was told by a friend that this story is about communist Russia, and was asked if I thought there would always be a leader. like this story I strongly believe there would always be a leader. For someone is simply a character trait to be a follower and nothing more. It is not in their nature to challenge the status quo or leadership. It is stories like this why I simply donât blindly follow and question change even at work. I would recommend the story as a quick read to others.

This book is literally so much unique. It is not very long but the main theme of this book is so realistic. Abuse of power is clearly written here quite beautifully. This book is indeed a ' Books to read before you die '
Animal Farm's satire makes the novella interesting to read. Written after Bolshevik revolution and no reason why lot go over gaga. Confining to Bolshevik revolution is tunnel view. The core of the novella resembles with lot of today's politics and ancient kingdom. For a moment forget about the bolshevik revolution. Rebellion outbursts, the leader comes to power and slowly vanquishes non believers in ideas or voices. Slowly becomes benevolent dictator for life, corrupt and power moves from people to few hands. Change the word rebellion to whatever it is/was called during the time period. Isn't this the perfect politics all over the world ? Think of Indian political parties, Tamil Nadu parties. You got it right ? It rises few questions can some one have too much of power ? Rather than human, an organization can have (some say it is already at place) all power at disposal controlled by few.
It boils down to humans thirst of power, leverage the power, ride on others work and lead king size life!
