Setting
England, on a farm. The setting fits the book, as you might expect. As far as time goes, the political implications of the 1940's are weighty, and in fact the central core on which the story's parable focuses. Orwell was writing about sort of recent events (earlier in the century) in Russia. What events, you say? The Russian Revolution. That's how these parable deals work.
Animal Farm is set in rural England on a farm previously called Manor Farm.

The answer to this question depends on what you consider to be his first masterpiece. Nevertheless, his two defining works are generally accepted to be Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm.
Burmese Days (1934) , A Clergyman's Daughter (1935) , Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936) , Coming Up for Air (1939) , Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) im looking for some more of george orwells books but i do know some of his keyworks were animal farm and nineteen eighty four.
Something that may help is that it is Animal Farm by George Orwell.
"Animal Farm" by George Orwell was published in London.
One setting is Manor Farm, another is Animal Farm. They are the same place, just with two different names. The only difference is that Manor Farm was controlled by humans. But after the animals rebelled against the humans, they renamed their farm, to animal farm. But the main setting is in Russia.
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a great little book. Orwells real name is Eric Blair. Animal Farm is a paradigm of society, a very well drawn picture of life under a totalitarian regime.
