Animal Farm

George Orwell • 2024

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell is a classic allegorical novella depicting a farm where animals overthrow their human owner to establish a society based on equality and fairness. Led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, the animals initially strive to create a utopian community free from human exploitation. However, power corrupts, and the pigs gradually betray the founding principles of equality, leading to oppression and inequality among the animals. Orwell's powerful critique of totalitarianism and political hypocrisy resonates through vivid characters and events, highlighting the dangers of unchecked power and the manipulation of ideology for personal gain.
