Mr Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is a lazy drunk. The animals decide to overthrow him in a revolution that will allow them to run the farm, liberating themselves and creating a new life of equality and freedom. But they have underestimated the pigs. Napoleon and Snowball form an elite and take control for themselves, and the tyranny of the farmer is replaced with another kind of control leaving the animals again subject to a ruthless and cruel authority. Imagined only as Orwell could, this powerful fable is instilled with humour and an underlying urgency that makes this one of the most prescient warnings ever written. This hardback is part of VINTAGE COLLECTOR’S CLASSICS, a series of luxurious books especially crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Sumptuous design meets the highest quality production. Discover timeless classics beautifully bound for every bookshelf.

拉車的馬➤時尚圈的野心遊戲
一幅令人驚嘆的城市肖像,描繪紐約在步入令人眩暈的新時代前夕的景象;以及一位年輕女子,為了打入紐約時尚精英的稀有世界,似乎願意付出一切的故事。 ❖ 血統,決定一切。 ❖ 📍 紐約,2001年。 編輯助理克洛達.「克洛」.哈蒙最大的夢想,就是在全球最負盛名的時尚雜誌扶搖直上。但有一個致命問題:她缺乏「正統血統」。在充滿美麗、富有、擁有無數人脈的「秀馬」世界裡,克洛只是一隻默默耕耘的「勞馬」,命運似乎永遠無法改變。 直到她遇見哈利.伍德——一位夢想建立自媒體帝國的記者。他可能是克洛操縱這場遊戲的盟友,也可能是阻礙她登上頂峰的唯一障礙。 克洛開始不斷越界,冒著愈發危險的風險,只為成為她夢想中的「重要人物」。然而,在那些借來的名牌服飾與精心修飾的舉止下,克洛究竟是誰?如果我們也與她有同樣的渴望,那我們又是誰? 《Workhorse》 既辛辣諷刺又令人不安,描繪了一段關於嫉妒與野心的驚人故事,背景是紐約媒體與上流社會最光鮮亮麗的高峰期。 An astonishing portrait of a city on the brink of a dizzying new era and a story about a young woman who will seemingly do anything to infiltrate the rarefied world of New York's fashion elite. GOOD BREEDING IS EVERYTHING. New York City, 2001. Editorial Assistant Clodagh “Clo” Harmon wants nothing more than to rise through the ranks at the world’s most prestigious fashion magazine. But there’s just one problem: she doesn’t have the right pedigree. Clo is a ‘workhorse’ in a world of beautiful, wealthy, impossibly well-connected ‘show horses’ and it seems that her fortunes will never change. That is until Clo meets Harry Wood, a reporter with visions of his own media empire and the person who might be Clo’s ally in gaming the system…or is he the only thing standing between Clo and her rightful place at the top? Clo begins to wade across boundaries, taking ever greater and more dangerous risks to become the Important Person she wants to be. But who is Clo under all the borrowed designer clothes and studied manners? And who are we if we share her desires? As wickedly funny as it is darkly unsettling, Workhorse is an astonishing story of envy and ambition, set against the glamour and privilege of media and high society in New York at its height.
