Animal Farm: A Fairy Story

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is one of the most enduring and influential political allegories ever written. Published in 1945, during the upheaval of World War II and the rise of totalitarian regimes, Orwell’s novella tells the story of a farm where animals overthrow their human owner, only to find their dream of equality corrupted by the very leaders they trusted. Drawing on Orwell’s sharp observations of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, Animal Farm exposes how revolutions can betray their ideals and become new forms of oppression.

This special unabridged audiobook edition features narration by Ross Cain, whose clear and steady voice vividly brings Orwell’s timeless story to life. Adding a unique dimension, Emmy-nominated actor and acclaimed internationally best-selling author Geoffrey Giuliano contributes an in-depth audio documentary exploring Orwell’s life, political beliefs, and the historical context behind Animal Farm. Giuliano’s insightful work sheds light on Orwell’s creative process and the prophetic vision that continues to resonate in today’s political unrest and misinformation world.

Cain’s narration and Giuliano’s iconic documentary create a rich, immersive experience that retells this classic tale and deepens listeners’ understanding of Orwell’s lasting impact. For those who seek to grasp the complexities of power, propaganda, and the fragility of freedom, this audiobook offers an essential and thought-provoking journey into one of literature’s most important works.

More than seventy-five years after its publication, Animal Farm remains a terrifying vision of our world in 2025—a world where truth is fragile, power is often abused, and the battle for freedom continues with urgent and troubling relevance.
