An excellent copy of this academic casebook on George Orwell’s Animal Farm. (see photos) Edition Notes: The number line ends in 2, and some publishers use this format to indicate a first edition. So, I am unsure if this is a first or second but lean towards second as this is the more common format. Understanding Animal Farm is an academic student casebook designed to place George Orwell’s Animal Farm in its literary, historical, political, and ideological contexts. Edited by John Rodden, the volume brings together literary analysis, historical documents, political sources, and contextual materials related to Marxism, the Russian Revolution, Stalinism, the Cold War, Soviet press materials, Glasnost, and Orwell’s enduring political allegory.

Following a literary analysis of Animal Farm, six chapters examine the historical, political, and literary issues raised by the novel. Chapters include selections relating the novel to basic tenets of Marxism, the Russian Revolution and Josef Stalin, the relation of George Orwell's life to the writing of Animal Farm, the Cold War, book reviews of the novel at the time of its publication, the American intellectual climate, and recent responses to the novel in the light of Glasnost and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Each document is preceded by an explanatory introduction, and each chapter concludes with suggested topics for written and oral exploration. This rich source of materials is ideal for interdisciplinary study of the novel.

Store description
My late wife and I spent a lot of time accumulating books, especially during COVID. With her gone, the books are a reminder of her. Hence, it's time for me to Turn the Page. Update: Please note I have recently moved to New Mexico (September 2026) where our chihuahua, Pedro, will no longer have to slog through snow and ice - the state where my beloved wife and his mommy lived before we met. Thank you for all your orders since opening this storefront!
