summary
Animal Farm is a timeless classic and an allegorical tale of political corruption and power struggles. George Orwell's symbolic novel tells the story of farm animals who overthrow their human farmer and create their own society only to find themselves victim to the very corruption they sought to escape. With its charming and familiar animal characters, the book is both an engaging read and a satirical commentary on the dangers of totalitarianism. As the pigs take control of the farm, they begin their own reign of tyranny, slowly but surely betraying the idealistic principles of democracy and equality they once espoused. Animal Farm is a must-read for anyone who has ever wanted to understand how power and corruption can corrupt even the most noble of intentions.
