Animal Farm - in custom-made box

Orwell, George

Edité par London Secker and Warburg 1945, 1945

A first edition, first printing of 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, published by Secker and Warburg in 1945. A near fine book (or better) without inscriptions. A touched browned to the extremes of the spine. In a very good (or better) unclipped dust wrapper with wear to the edges and to the corners. The 'Searchlight Books' advertisement printed in red to the verso as called for. Vibrant titles to the spine and presents beautifully, without tears and very fresh indeed. Now housed in a custom-made solander box. A political allegory that uses farm animals to depict the corruption of socialist ideals and the rise of totalitarianism, mirroring the Russian Revolution and Stalin's regime. The story follows the animals' rebellion against their human owner, only for their leader, Napoleon the pig, to become as oppressive as the humans they overthrew. Written during World War II, the novel was initially rejected by several publishers due to its criticism of the Soviet Union but was finally published in 1945 by Secker & Warburg, achieving immediate success and lasting global influence.
