Animal Farm by George Orwell is a powerful political allegory in the form of a seemingly simple farmyard tale. When the animals of Manor Farm overthrow their human owner, they establish a society built on equality. But under the leadership of the cunning pig Napoleon, the revolution devolves into a brutal dictatorship, revealing how power corrupts and how ideals can be betrayed. Orwell’s satire exposes the perils of totalitarianism and propaganda through deceptively straightforward prose and unforgettable symbolism.
