George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is my favourite work of fiction. I read it again every few years, and I’m always struck by the parallels with modern-day life – in recent years, by the parallels with feminism, of course. If Orwell were alive today, doubtless he’d be writing about ‘Big Sister’. It’s been many years since I last read Animal Farm, and I was formerly unaware of the Preface to the book, of which William Collins writes in an insightful new piece.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Though I regard Animal Farm essential reading I was ignorant of this preface. It is truly remarkable , even without Mr Collin’s helpful annnotations it is so clear on the corrosion of Democracy through partiality. Orwell was remarkable in his dissection of our modern political culture.
