A scathing and surprisingly relevant fable that sharply exposes the pitfalls of power and corruption. In this exquisite allegory, the animals of Manor Farm rise up against their human oppressors in the hope of building a fair and equal society. However, they soon discover that even among themselves, new tyrants can emerge. Through memorable characters such as the charismatic pig Napoleon and the noble horse Boxer, Orwell reveals how ideologies can be distorted and how revolutionary ideals crumble in the face of ambition and manipulation. Animal Farm is not only a critique of totalitarianism, but also a profound reflection on human nature, politics, and the danger of collective blindness. This short but powerful novel continues to resonate today, reminding us that "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
