Animal farm
Orwell, George
Animal farm - Rep. Ed. - New Delhi: Fingerprint Classics, 2018. - 143p. : pbk. ; 20cm.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
The mistreated animals of Manor Farm are inspired to revolt against their neglectful farmer, Mr. Jones, when Old Major, the wise boar, tells them of equality. But when the respected boar dies, the shrewd pigs Snowball and Napoleon seize control of the revolution, successfully drive out Mr. Jones, and establish Animal Farm, a place where every creature is meant to be equal.
But as power shifts, so does the dream. Snowball and Napoleon's rivalry escalates into dictatorship under Napoleon's iron fist. Tensions rise, alliances crumble, and the pigs' quest for dominance threatens to shatter their newfound freedom. Amidst battles, betrayals, and broken promises, the animals learn that revolution comes at a cost – and not all are willing to pay it.
George Orwell's timeless allegory of power and privilege remains as relevant today as it was upon its first publication. Through the eyes of its unforgettable characters, 'Animal Farm' offers a scathing critique of political hypocrisy and the dangers of surrendering freedom in the pursuit of power.
