[Eric Arthur Blair, writing as:] ORWELL, George (1903-1950)

Animal Farm

New York, Harcourt Brace, 1946. First Printing. Hardcover. Uncommonly well-preserved First American Edition (so stated) of the world's most famous modern animal fable and political allegory. Slim crown 8vo (186 x 121mm): [4],118pp. Publisher's black calico textured cloth, spine lettered in gilt, cream end papers; original first issue black dust jacket printed in red and white (designed by Art Brenner) and priced $1.75 and without "Printed in the USA" statement to rear flap. Green ink Christmas gift stamp to blank following front fly-leaf, else an excellent example, with crisp gilt lettering and unfaded jacket spine panel. Fenwick A.10d. Grolier (Orwell) 19.b (noting Christopher Morley's assessment of the book as "one of the great political satires" and Edmond Wilson likening Orwell to Voltaire and Swift). First published the previous year, in London, by Secker & Warburg. The author's most successful book at the time of publication, selling some 25,000 copies within a year; it has been continuously in print since 1945 and has been translated into all major languages. "Ian Willison quotes Peter Viereck, 'Bloody-minded Professors', Confluence (September 1952): '[Angus] Cameron was among those who after the war prevented Little, Brown from publishing George Orwell's anti-Communist satire, Animal Farm. Some 18 to 20 publishers, almost all the leading ones, turned down the best anti-Soviet satire of our time." (Fenwick) "Orwell developed his analysis of Stalinist communism during the Spanish Civil War after his experience in Barcelona, in 1937, of the violent suppression by Communist forces of POUM, the anarchist militia of which he was a member. Animal Farm, which Orwell worked on during the War, is the brilliant realisation of his understanding of the Russian Revolution seen in terms of the rejection of servitude by the animals at Manor Farm. Appearing as the post-war settlement was taking place, and as the Cold War began to be invented, the book seemed timely. The power of the fable comes from its simplicity and its utter conviction, as well as from its fabular analysis of the history of the Soviet Union as Stalin became its leader."

[Cartoon Strip] Animal Farm

1954. First Edition thus. Stiff Wrappers. Uncommon edition of the world's most famous modern animal fable and political allegory. Oblong 8vo (164 x 240mm): [28]pp, with 52 cartoon strips. Grey illustrated wrappers printed in black, staple-bound. Light stain to top left corner of upper wrapper, else an excellent example, tightly bound and clean throughout. Fenwick (A.10.M1) mentions, in passing, the strip cartoon version serialized by British and American newspapers but not this publication. Shortly after Orwell's death, his widow Sonia was visited in London by representatives of the American producer Louis de Rochemont, seeking movie rights to Orwell's novel. A conventional live-action adaptation was out of the question, of course, given that the book's main characters were farmyard animals, so De Rochemont hired the British husband-and-wife animators John Halas and Joy Batchelor, who had produced propaganda films during the Second World War. Their adaptation of Animal Farm was released in 1954, the first feature-length animation movie made in the United Kingdom. Unbeknownst to Halas and Batchelor, de Rochemont secretly worked for the CIA. According to Hugh Wilford (see The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America), the CIA provided most of the $500,000 funding for the film. For Orwell, the Communists ended up no less rotten than the capitalists they'd rebelled against. For the CIA, however, such a view reflected as badly on Washington as it did on Moscow, so de Rochemont's finale, in which humans are entirely absent, has the pigs get their comeuppance from the animals they betrayed. Harold Whitaker, one of the film's lead animators, produced the comic-strip version, which appeared in newspapers to promote release of the film, in 1954. N. B.
