Animal Farm

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in 1945. It tells the story of a group of farm animals who overthrow their human owner, Mr. Jones, in the hope of creating a society where all animals are equal. However, after the rebellion, the pigs, who lead the revolution, gradually seize power and establish a totalitarian regime that is just as oppressive as the one they overthrew.

The novella serves as a powerful critique of totalitarian regimes, particularly Stalinism in the Soviet Union. It explores themes such as the corrupting influence of power, manipulation of truth, and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals. Orwell’s Animal Farm remains a classic work for understanding the dangers of absolute power and the ways in which political systems can exploit and manipulate the masses.
