Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's timeless satire 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.' Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.

所有動物一律平等，但有些動物比其他動物更平等。 劉紹銘教授重新翻譯歐威爾經典名作 曼納農莊莊主鍾斯先生飽食終日，性嗜杯中物，為人刻薄寡恩，農莊內的大小豬狗牛羊雞馬騾，日間撐着老命給莊主幹活，吃的只夠半飽，且不說工作表現一不如意就得受皮肉之苦。 且說一個仲夏之夜鍾斯在酒鋪買醉，晨昏顛倒，隔天中午才回到農莊，完全沒有把餵飼動物這回事放在心上。他一摸進家門便倒頭睡在客廳沙發上。動物們也因此一直空着肚子捱餓。最後他們實在忍不住了，但見一隻牛用角撞開貯糧庫的大門，各動物應聲而上，各自分頭從飼料箱取東西填肚子。 鍾斯先生這時突然驚醒，一瞬間跟手下四名傭工趕到貯糧庫，手執皮鞭四邊狠狠的抽打一番。這教肚子餓壞了的動物忍無可忍，大夥兒不約而同撲向一直折磨他們的狠心主人。鍾斯一夥突然發覺四面受敵，被犄角牴，蹄子踢，形勢完全失控。他們從沒見過或想過動物竟然有此舉動。這些牲畜都曾經是他們隨意鞭撻、即興折磨的奴隸，現在居然變了面，怎教他不嚇破了膽。就在這電光火石的一刻，他們決定不再糾纏了，拔腿飛跑，離開了曼納農莊。 動物終於當家作主，成了農莊主人，從此─ 歐威爾的《動物農莊》原副題為「童話故事」，旨在諷刺蘇聯革命，並推而廣之警醒大眾在種種煽動的、危險的「社會主義」論調中保持清醒，提高警覺。

New York Times Bestseller

A hardcover edition of the first volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's smash #1 New York Times and international bestseller recommended by President Barack Obama and Bill Gates, with gorgeous full-color illustrations and concise, easy to comprehend text for readers of all ages.

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?

In this first volume of the full-color illustrated adaptation of his groundbreaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind’s creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Featuring 256 pages of full-color illustrations and easy-to-understand text covering the first part of the full-length original edition, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation as it introduces Harari’s ideas to a wide new readership.
