About the Book

In Animal Farm, George Orwell presents a powerful allegory about revolution, power, and corruption. When the animals of Manor Farm overthrow their oppressive human master, Mr. Jones, they envision a new era of freedom and equality. However, as the story unfolds, a cunning and ruthless elite emerges among the animals, particularly the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, who slowly take control of the farm.

This novella examines how power can corrupt even those with the best intentions and reflects the dangers of totalitarianism and political manipulation. Through its simple yet profound narrative, Orwell critiques societal structures and the human tendency to exploit power for personal gain.
