What is our aim?
Through HITHIT, we would like to raise funds to print this book in the summer.
In addition to the printed book, we are also preparing the publication of the e-Book. There are many books on the Czech market that are aimed at beginners and advanced. But where are the books for intermediate students? We have filled this gap.
Animal Farm is intended for Czech students with intermediate English. Animal Farm was written by English writer George Orwell. Two Czech illustrators created 20 illustrations. They collaborated with a native English speaker who reworked the original text. Our special edition Animal Farm has been tested by Czech students in the last year. Feedback from students has been positive, with the book having a positive effect on their English.
What do people say about our version of Animal Farm?

The book contains words that I use in everyday life. Gerhard has adapted the book so that it is easy to read and understandable for any age group. It has greatly improved my English and vocabulary. It has beautiful illustrations that will captivate every reader."
"I can fully recommend Gerhard's edition of Animal Farm (the abbreviated version) as an excellent supplement for studying English. It was interesting for me personally, especially from two points of view. Gerhard's transcription into "simpler English" significantly facilitated reading fluency and Orwell's books are very stimulating for subsequent discussions in English. The topic of the book is timeless and relatively current today. I can only recommend… "

"I had the opportunity to read this version of the book during its preparation. It is great for intermediate English-language readers (B1, B2). The book will help to improve and consolidate knowledge of vocabulary and sentence structure without the need for frequent searching in a dictionary. And even in this "reduced version" of the text, it's a fun read full of truths valid for every period of human history. The truths we must always keep in mind."

"I never thought I would enjoy reading world literature in English. The grammar, vocabulary and overall structure of the text corresponded perfectly to my level (intermediate). Even with timeless and still current content, this book should be a mandatory part of the bookcase of every English student."
