About the Book
A beautiful graphic novel adaptation of George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
In 1945, George Orwell, called "the conscience of his generation," created an enduring, devastating story of new tyranny replacing old, and power corrupting even the noblest of causes. Today it is all too clear that Orwell's masterpiece of political satire is still fiercely relevant wherever cults of personality thrive, truths are twisted by those in power, and freedom is under attack. In this fully authorized edition, the artist Odyr translates the world and message of Animal Farm into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel.
Old Major, Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball, Boxer, and all the creatures of Animal Farm come to life in this newly envisaged classic. From his individual brushstrokes to the freedom of his page design, Odyr's adaptation of this classic literature seamlessly moves between satire and fable and will appeal to all ages, just as Orwell intended.
This graphic novel edition masterfully captures the chilling warnings at the heart of the original text--
- A Timeless Allegory: Witness the farm animals' revolution against their human master devolve into a new and more brutal form of tyranny, a stark warning against the corruption of power.
- Stunning Visual Storytelling: Artist Odyr brings the iconic characters--from the noble Boxer to the tyrannical Napoleon--to life with evocative brushstrokes and dynamic page design.
- Unflinching Social Commentary: Explore enduring themes of propaganda, class struggle, and the perversion of truth that remain fiercely relevant in today's political climate.
- A Classic Reimagined: A faithful and fully authorized adaptation that makes Orwell's masterpiece accessible to a new generation of readers and fans of dystopian fiction.
About the Author
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist whose best-known works include the dystopian novel 1984 and the satirical novella Animal Farm. He is consistently ranked among the best English writers of the 20th century, and his writing has had a huge, lasting influence on contemporary culture. Several of his coined words have since entered the English language, and the word "Orwellian" is now used to describe totalitarian or authoritarian social practices.
Odyr is a Brazilian graphic novelist, cartoonist, and painter. He is the co-author of the graphic novel Guadalupe, written with poet Angélica Freitas and published by Companhia das Letras. He also published Copacabana, co-written with scriptwriter Lobo and published in Portugal and France.
