Animal Farm by George Orwell [Paperback]
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a political allegory and satirical novella published in 1945. The book is a critique of totalitarian regimes and explores themes of power, corruption, and betrayal.
The story is set on a farm where the animals overthrow their human farmer, hoping to create a society of equality and justice. Initially, the rebellion seems to be a success, with the pigs assuming leadership and establishing a set of rules designed to ensure fairness. However, as time progresses, the pigs, particularly Napoleon, become increasingly corrupt and authoritarian, mirroring the very tyranny they had originally opposed.
Orwell uses the allegory of the farm and its animal inhabitants to comment on the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent rise of Stalinism. The novella is renowned for its exploration of how power can corrupt and how revolutionary ideals can be perverted.
