Animal Farm: A Fairy Story by George Orwell c1951 Penguin

Description

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a satirical fable that uses animals on a farm to represent the Russian Revolution. The animals rebel against their human farmer, dreaming of a society where all animals are equal. However, the pigs, led by the cunning Napoleon, gradually seize power and establish a totalitarian regime. As the pigs become increasingly corrupt and oppressive, the farm descends into chaos and tyranny. Orwell’s allegory offers a powerful critique of totalitarianism, highlighting the dangers of unchecked power and the erosion of individual freedoms.
