ANIMAL FARM (Penguin First Edition)
Book Description
George Orwell's name (originally Eric Blair) first became widely known to the general public with this publication (1945), a satire on the Soviet Union at the time of writing. As an affirmation of its popularity it was translated into 14 foreign languages. He was equally successful with his last novel, 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', published in 1949 before his untimely death in January 1950.
