20172295363The Easton Press 2017. Limited Edition. Full-Leather. Fine/No Jacket. Mayer Bill. Signed by illustrator. Limited edition one of 1200 copies. Signed by Bill Mayer without inscription on limitation page. 2017 Full-Leather. 218 pp. Brown full leather gilt and green titles and decorations all edges gilt marbled endpapers ribbon marker bound in. 10 tipped in color plates by Bill Mayer produced specially for this edition. A satirical look at Soviet totalitarianism using animals on a farm as an allegorical device. The revision of history by those in power is a theme that returns in Orwell's famous dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. While the setting of Animal Farm does not quite fit the parameters of a dystopian society Orwell's work here seems to progress directly toward the speculations about future society in Nineteen Eighty-Four common themes being the will to power power's corrupting influence and the obliteration of history.

Superbe état général de cette rarissime édition originale du chef-d'oeuvre de l'auteur.Amélie Audiberti, épouse de l'écrivain et dramaturge Jacques Audiberti, traductrice française réputée, elle est principalement connue pour être à l'origine de cette première traduction du roman 1984 de George Orwell où elle y invente plusieurs néologismes dont certains sont passés dans le langage courant comme la " Novlangue ". Le roman adapté et réalisé par Michael Radford en 1984, fut diffusé en salles la même année. On trouvait dans les rôles principaux, entre autres : John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, Cyril Cusack et Bob Flag ( Big Brother ). La musique fut comosé en partie par le groupe Eurythmics, dont la chanson " Sexcrime " ( Nineteen Eighty-Four ), qui ne figurait que sur l'album et non dans le film, mais qui servait de musique de fond aux bandes-annonces de l'époque.

George Orwell's searing account of working-class life in the bleak industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire in the 1930s The Road to Wigan Pier is a brilliant and bitter polemic that has lost none of its political impact over time. Orwell's graphically unforgettable descriptions of social injustice cramped slum housing dangerous mining conditions squalor hunger and growing unemployment are written with unblinking honesty fury and great humanity. It crystallized the ideas that would be found in his later works and novels and remains a powerful portrait of poverty injustice and class divisions in Britain. incl 32 b/w photographs Victor Gollancz paperback
