Description
Animal Farm is George Orwell’s masterpiece of political satire, presenting a farm inhabited by animals who rebel against their human farmer in hopes of creating a society where animals can be equal, free, and happy.
However, the rebellion is ultimately betrayed by the pigs, who use their superior intellect to establish a dictatorship more oppressive than the original human rule. Through the transformation of the farm and its commandments, Orwell brilliantly satirizes the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent Soviet era under Stalin’s rule.
The novella serves as a timeless allegory about how revolutionary ideals can be corrupted by those in power, demonstrating the dangers of totalitarianism and the manipulation of language and propaganda.
