Animal Farm

by George Orwell

Preview · not reviewed yet

Animal Farm is a political satire set on a farm where animals rebel against their human owner and attempt to create a society based on equality. The story follows how their founding ideals become corrupted over time, exploring the gap between revolutionary principles and the reality of power.

Animal Farm is set on Manor Farm, owned by Mr Jones, whose heavy drinking and neglect lead him to forget to feed his livestock one day. The animals respond by rebelling, with the pigs Napoleon and Snowball taking leading roles. After the animals take over the farm, it is renamed Animal Farm and organised with the stated aim of benefiting all who walk on four legs. The publisher's summary indicates that the new arrangement changes over time, as the ideals behind the rebellion are corrupted and then forgotten.
