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."
