One of literature's most powerful political fables comes alive in a breathtaking graphic novel adaptation that's as urgent and relevant today as the day it was written.

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. Animal Farm: The Graphic Novel is a fully authorized adaptation by the artist Odyr, who translates Orwell's world into a gorgeously imagined visual experience, bringing Old Major, Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball, Boxer, and all the creatures of Animal Farm vividly to life. Seamlessly moving between satire and fable, this edition will appeal to readers of all ages — just as Orwell intended.

A Classic, Reimagined: Odyr's individual brushstrokes and inventive page design give Orwell's allegorical masterpiece a stunning new visual life, making it accessible and compelling for a whole new generation of readers.
Timeless and Timely: Orwell's story of cults of personality, twisted truths, and freedom under attack remains fiercely relevant today — a perfect conversation starter for young readers and adults alike.
Fully Authorized Adaptation: This is an official, authorised edition, faithful to Orwell's original vision and message.
Appeals to All Ages: Whether a first encounter with Animal Farm or a beloved revisit, this graphic novel format makes the story engaging for middle schoolers, teens, and adults.
