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.

A cantankerously funny view of books and the people who love them. It does take all kinds and through the misanthropic eyes of a very grumpy bookseller, we see them all―from the “Person Who Doesn't Know What They Want (But Thinks It Might Have a Blue Cover)” to the “Parents Secretly After Free Childcare.”

From behind the counter, Shaun Bythell catalogs the customers who roam his shop in Wigtown, Scotland. There’s the Expert (divided into subspecies from the Bore to the Helpful Person), the Young Family (ranging from the Exhausted to the Aspirational), Occultists (from Conspiracy Theorist to Craft Woman).

Then there's the Loiterer (including the Erotica Browser and the Self-Published Author), the Bearded Pensioner (including the Lyrca Clad), and the The Not-So-Silent Traveller (the Whistler, Sniffer, Hummer, Farter, and Tutter). Two bonus sections include Staff and, finally, Perfect Customer―all add up to one of the funniest book about books you’ll ever find.

Shaun Bythell (author of Confessions of a Bookseller) and his mordantly unique observational eye make this perfect for anyone who loves books and bookshops.

“Bythell is having fun and it’s infectious.”―Scotsman

“Virtuosic venting ... misanthropy with bursts of sweetness.”―Guardian

“All the ingredients for a gentle human comedy are here, as soothing as a bag of boiled sweets and just as tempting to dip into.”―Literary Review

“Any reader finding this book in their stocking on Christmas morning should feel lucky...contains plenty to amuse―an excellent diversion”―Bookmunch

本書不是講述種種神話，而是闡述神話研究的種種方法，或者說神話的種種理論，並且是限定在現代神話理論的範圍之內。神話理論和神話本身一樣古老，其出現至少可以追溯到前蘇格拉底時代。

本書論及的所有理論都把神話看作故事。誠然，泰勒(E. B. Taylor)將故事轉變成了一種不言而喻的概括，但這一概括依然要由故事來承載。列維–施特勞斯(Claude Lévi-Strauss)超脫於故事以尋求神話的「結構」，但同樣的，結構要由故事來承載。從象徵意義而不是字面意義來解讀神話的理論仍然把神話的主題—或者說意義—看作是故事的展開。如果說神話被看作是故事，那麼，這故事講述的是甚麼呢？
