The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.'Remains our great satire of the darker face of modern history' Malcolm Bradbury'Animal Farm has seen off all the opposition. It's as valid as today as it was fifty years ago' Ralph SteadmanGeorge Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) was an accomplished social, political and literary commentator and essayist known for his non-fiction works The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia. His most famous novels, Animal Farm and 1984 have influenced a generation of twentieth century political satirists and dystopian novelists. Animal Farm received the W. H.

Titre : Animal Farm : a Fairy Story Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : George, né Eric Arthur Blair ORWELL (1903-1950), Auteur ; Christopher CORR, Dessinateur Editeur : Londres : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1987 Importance : 119 p. Présentation : couv. ill. coul. Format : 18 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-000838-8 Prix : 5€ Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 820-3 Roman traduit de la langue anglaise. [ou roman de langue anglaise avec CR 820-3]. Résumé : Animal Farm has become the classic political fable of the twentieth century. Published in 1945, it was, as Orwell himself said, "the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole". Written in a form akin to the traditional beast fable, it tells the story of a revolution among animals, led by the pigs, and their subsequent takeover of the farm. Soon, however, the purity of their original aims is corrupted by internal power-struggles and deceit into dictatorship.
If this Swiftian satire has a moral, it is a bleakly ironic one... the animals' Utopia disintegrates into an oppressive, despotic regime, manipulated by the pigs' accomplished propaganda, until the slogans that heralded the new freedom are perverted into blatant contradiction.Animal Farm : a Fairy Story [texte imprimé] / George, né Eric Arthur Blair ORWELL (1903-1950), Auteur ; Christopher CORR, Dessinateur . - Londres : Penguin Books, 1987 . - 119 p. : couv. ill. coul. ; 18 cm.

Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 18 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-001484-6 Prix : 4,80 € Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 820-3 Roman traduit de la langue anglaise. [ou roman de langue anglaise avec CR 820-3]. Résumé : Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence written in 1928. Printed privately in Florence in 1928, it was not printed in the United Kingdom until 1960 (other than in an underground edition issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929). Lawrence considered calling this book Tenderness at one time and made significant alterations to the original manuscript in order to make it palatable to readers. It has been published in three different versions. The publication of the book caused a scandal due to its explicit sex scenes, including previously banned four-letter words, and perhaps because the lovers were a working-class male and an aristocratic female. The story is said to have originated from events in Lawrence's own unhappy domestic life, and he took inspiration for the settings of the book from Ilkeston in Derbyshire where he lived for a while. According to some critics the fling of Lady Ottoline Morrell with "Tiger", a young stonemason who came to carve plinths for her garden statues, also influenced the story.
