This is a classic tale of humanity awash in totalitarianism. A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals.

First published during the epoch of Stalinist Russia, today it is clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, and under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of Orwell's masterpiece is a message still ferociously fresh.

Brave New World is a haunting vision of the future that forces us to confront the price of utopia."
