Answer:
Animal Farm was not an initial success in Britain because of the critics it represented. The author, George Orwell, wrote it during the Second World War. In the novel Orwell criticizes soviet leader Iósif Stalin and Russian’s totalitarianism. During that time, Britain and Russia were allies and no one wanted to be attached to a criticism of Russia.
In addition, George Orwell was a Trotskyist, which emphasized that he did not support Stalin. Publishers did not take that risk and rejected the novel.
In 1945 the novel was finally published by Frederic Warburg, but it was not known by the public until late 1950s.
