Animal Farm
What happens when ill-treated farm animals gang up to throw out their lazy, corrupt and power-drunk rulers? Animal Farm is born. As humans get ousted from Manor Farm and animals take control, their utopian fantasy of running a farm on the basis of equality soon begins to crumble before their eyes. The rebellion of the animals, led by the two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, gives way to corrupt practices that lead to unthinkable consequences. A resounding fable on totalitarianism and power-gone-corrupt, Animal Farm is an allegorical novella that took the publishing world by storm when it was first published and hasn't stopped doing so ever since. The ultimate satire on fascism, Animal Farm finds relevance even in present-day world. A must-read!
About Author
George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, stands as one of the most influential political writers and social critics of the 20th century, whose works continue to resonate with alarming relevance decades after his death. His experiences as a colonial police officer in Burma, a dishwasher in Paris, and a soldier in the Spanish Civil War informed his deep skepticism of authority and commitment to democratic socialism. Orwell's masterpieces '1984' and 'Animal Farm' have become foundational texts in discussions of totalitarianism, propaganda, and language manipulation, introducing concepts like 'Big Brother,' 'thoughtcrime,' and 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' into global consciousness. Beyond his famous dystopias, his essays like 'Politics and the English Language' and 'Shooting an Elephant' remain essential reading for their clarity and moral force. Orwell's enduring legacy lies in his uncompromising intellectual honesty and his ability to distill complex political ideas into powerful, accessible narratives that continue to warn against the dangers of authoritarianism in any form.
