Los animales de la granja de los Jones se sublevan contra sus dueños humanos y les vencen. Pero la rebelión fracasará al surgir entre ellos rivalidades y envidias, y al aliarse algunos con los amos que derrocaron, traicionando su propia identidad y los intereses de su clase. Aunque Rebelión en la granja fue concebida como una despiadada sátira del estalinismo, el carácter universal de su mensaje hace de este libro un extraordinario análisis de la corrupción que engendra el poder, una furibunda diatriba contra el totalitarismo de cualquier especie y un lúcido examen de las manipulaciones que sufre la verdad histórica en los momentos de transformación política.

This anthology has been in the making for some years in the mind of the editor, Dione Venables, founding member of The Orwell Society. In 2006 she contributed the postscript to her cousin Jacintha Buddicom's memoir about the childhood and early youth of George Orwell. She continues to work for greater clarity and appreciation of the great man's genius and felt that this emotional layer of perception had been largely ignored by academia.

Under ledning av grisarna håller de utarbetade och förtryckta djuren på en bondgård hemliga möten där de beslutar sig för att göra uppror mot ägaren av gården.
