Think is important to note that it was written in 1943. Source could be JOURNAL ARTICLE Revolution on Animal Farm: Orwell's Neglected Commentary V. C. Letemendia Journal of Modern Literature Vol. 18, No. 1 (Winter, 1992), pp. 127-137 (11 pages) at https://www.jstor.org/stable/3831551 where at P. 132 quoting Orwell author reports ... he did not mean pigs and men to appear reconciled completely at the end of the book. On the contrary "I meant it to end on a loud note of discord, for I wrote it immediately after the Teheran Conference [parodied by the final scene in Animal Farm] .." CEJL, III, pp. 459-59

Link for Preface

Here is a link for the preface. Can someone add it to main article, so that people know where the quote is coming from. https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/the-freedom-of-the-press/

Edit Request for section 4.1 (origin)

This article explores the possible influence on “Animal Farm” of a forgotten Renaissance poem about pigs at war with each other. http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2019/12/professor-publishes-placentius-pugnacious-pig-poem — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amorsui (talk • contribs) 02:05, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

number pf pages

I think it is important to correct the number of pages. The fact is that UK paperback edition has just 112 pages, but almost every other english edition has 130 - 150 pages. It will be good to point it out or remove that kind of information at all. This is maybe just my opinion. Thank you! Anapimpili (talk) 11:19, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to the infobox? If so, instructions state "prefer 1st edition, specify edition as needed", which the infobox does. If there's a reason why the variance in pages is significant, I would suggest it be noted in prose, with an appropriate source that discusses the variance. Hope this helps.

The book Revolt”

How strange that this book is so similar to the book „Revolt” written by the famous Noble-prize winning Polish writer Wladyslaw Reymont. Reymont wrote his book twenty years earlier and it was issued in book form in 1924. It was translated and issued in the different languages.
