"Rebellion on the Farm was the first book in which I tried, very consciously, to unite a political purpose with an artistic purpose." George Orwell
Although Rebellion on the Farm was conceived as a devastating satire about the degeneration of the Soviet regime in Stalin's time, the universal character of its message makes it a fundamental work to understand the corruption engendered by absolute power. After being rejected by four publishers, finally published by Secker & Warburg in 1945, it was not known to the general public until the fifties. Today, translated worldwide and with millions of copies sold, it has become a canonical work and a lucid literary legacy of one of the most far-sighted and socially committed authors of the 20th century.

The present edition includes more than fifty illustrations, as well as preliminary sketches of the multi-awarded British artist Ralph Steadman, specialized in political and social satire. His remarkable work for this text amplifies and transcends the senses of the fable, becoming one of the most original interpretations that have been made. The translation into Spanish has been in charge of Marcial Souto.
