by Orwell, George
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1946. Later printing. Fine.. Beautifully bound copy of the US edition of Orwell's biting political allegory. A Swiftian satirical fable of the Russian revolution, ANIMAL FARM draws on the traditional children's animal-tale form to devastating effect, with sharp portraits of the absolute corruption of power, the cynical deployment of rewritten history, and the exploitation of true believers unable to recognize the betrayal of their ideals. 7.25'' x 5''. Modern full dark teal goatskin ruled in gilt, raised bands, spine stamped in gilt, bound by Asprey. Marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. [4], 118 pages. Binding with one spot to front board, else crisp and clean.
