This title will cover the essential context to the novella Animal Farm. This is not just a nice little story about some farm animals; it is a powerful critique of the dangers of political power, and you need some information about the context to fully understand that. Included in this title is a general overview of the plot and the essential historical background information, which you will need to know to gain a full awareness of what Orwell is really writing about in the novella. It also gives an explanation of the genre, or type, of novella we are looking at. Finally, we will discuss the setting, which will also form a vital part of your understanding.

Reviews

The general overview of the story is excellent and well explained and reminded me of the time I read the book many years ago. I think, although I can't be sure, that Animal Farm was included in my English O-level syllabus. Anyhow, listening to the full topic prompted me to find a copy of the book and I have just started reading it. All prompted by my desire to help my son with his GCSE English Language revision. I think that buying the complete topic for £10.95 represents amazing value for money and certainly beats any other method of learning and revising.
