Animal Farm

By George Orwell
Animal Farm by George Orwell digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

"Animal Farm" is a classic novella written by George Orwell, first published in 1945. This allegorical tale is a satirical critique of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent development of the Soviet Union. Set on a farm, the story unfolds as the animals overthrow their human oppressors, only to realize that the pursuit of equality and justice is not as straightforward as they had hoped.

Led by the pigs, who initially champion the cause of freedom and equality, the animals establish their own government based on the principles of Animalism. However, as time passes, the pigs begin to resemble the very humans they rebelled against, betraying the ideals of the revolution. The narrative serves as a powerful commentary on the corrupting nature of power and the potential for revolutions to be co-opted by those seeking to exploit the masses.

Orwell uses the farm animals as symbolic representations of different social classes and political figures, creating a thought-provoking and cautionary tale about the dangers of totalitarianism and the erosion of noble ideals. "Animal Farm" remains a compelling and relevant work that continues to resonate with readers for its exploration of political manipulation, propaganda, and the fragility of societal structures.

Slightly Smiling Face“Through anthromorphism Orwell shows how unbridled power and hubris can lead to one's downfall. Animals overthrow man for exploitation to create a world where everyone is treated equally but things take a different turn as time progresses. The animals with their very own principles fail to abide by them. They become their own downfall. Each and every animal represents a particular section of the human society and hints of political ideologies reflect why the book has faced a tremendous amount of censorship and bans in various countries. While it may get a little dull reading about animals scheming various things to keep the others under the shed of ignorance but that is where one should dig in for multifarious interpretations. Orwell always manages to end his novels and short stories with a statement of self introspection and fortunately this one's no different.”
