Answer 1

Ever since Orwell wrote Animal Farm readers have enjoyed it as a simple animal story.

While it is possible to read the book without being aware of the historical background in which Orwell wrote it, knowing the world's situation during the 1940s adds interest to the novel. The reader understands why the political implications of the book were so important to Orwell, and is encouraged to read the book again, looking for its less obvious political and societal references. As the date of the original publication of the work becomes more remote, the historical events that preceded it lose their immediacy, but Orwell's story remains viable. In fact, Orwell emphasized the universality and timelessness of his message by not setting the story in any particular era, and, while placing the farm in England, not making that fact important.

Answer 4

I have read the book and I don't believe it states what year the story takes place. It doesn't really matter much. One can infer that is was at least after Napoleon's fame, since one of the pigs is named after him. Really, though, the year doesn't matter for the point of the story.

Answer 5

it takes place in the year of 1930

Answer 6

It's not set in any particular year, but it is a metaphor for Europe in the 1930s.

Answer 7

I believe it is contemporary to the time it was written.
