First published in 1945, Animal Farm is one of the most powerful political allegories ever written. What begins as a hopeful rebellion of farm animals against human tyranny gradually transforms into a chilling portrait of corruption, manipulation, and absolute power.Through the rise of the pigs and the transformation of revolutionary ideals into authoritarian control, Orwell exposes how language, propaganda, and fear can reshape truth itself. Beneath its deceptively simple fable lies a razor-sharp critique of totalitarianism, ideological betrayal, and the cyclical nature of oppression.Brilliantly concise and devastatingly clear, Animal Farm remains an essential modern classican enduring warning about power, leadership, and the fragility of equality.
