Animal Farm by George Orwell

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a masterful allegorical novella that critiques power, politics, and corruption through a simple yet profound fable. First published in 1945, the story revolves around a group of farm animals who overthrow their human owner in pursuit of equality and self-governance.

Led by the pigs, especially the cunning Napoleon, the animals establish a new order. However, the dream of a fair society soon deteriorates as power consolidates among the few, and the principles of the revolution are twisted. The famous line ?All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others? captures the essence of Orwell’s commentary on authoritarianism and betrayal of ideals.

Short, sharp, and timeless, Animal Farm is both a political satire and a cautionary tale that continues to resonate in any era where freedom and truth are threatened.
