Animal Farm: A Fairy Story

by George Orwell
Animal Farm: A Fairy Story
Animal Farm: A Fairy Story

Allegorical satire on corruption of revolutionary ideals.

"Animal Farm" isn't just a story about animals taking over a farm; it's a powerful insight into the pitfalls of idealism turned dictatorship. Orwell cleverly uses farm animals to depict the rise of tyranny from a hopeful revolution, creating an enduring message about power and corruption that resonates deeply in any political climate. If you're into narratives with profound social commentary and historical parallels, this slim novel punches well above its weight.

Description

After years of exploitation, neglect, and despair, the animals of Manor Farm revolt. They drive owner Mr. Jones off the land and rechristen the property Animal Farm, a utopia of equality and mutual support. But Napoleon, a young boar who assumes command after the rebellion, is hungry for power. And as the pigs consolidate control, all the good intentions of Animal Farm are crushed by a new and inevitable tyranny. George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the chilling allegorical satire about the working class and the gripping rhetoric of despots, illustrates just how easy the slide into oppression and totalitarianism can be.
