Animal Farm is a political allegory of the history of the USSR
written in the form of a fable. Its stinging moral warning against
the abuse of power is forcefully demonstrated in this casebook through
a wide variety of historical, political, and literary documents that
are directly applicable to the novel. Included are passages
from the Soviet press; excerpts from personal memoirs and correspondence;
original translations from Russian and East German sources that show
the meaning of Animal Farm for those nations' readers; and
historical and political sources on Marxism, the Russian Revolution,
the Cold War, and Glasnost. Many of these documents have not been
available in print before.
