Animal Farm
Overview & Summary
The animals of Manor Farm rise up and overthrow their drunken, neglectful human owner, establishing a society built on the principle that "all animals are equal" -- but the pigs who lead the revolution gradually consolidate power, rewrite the rules, and become indistinguishable from the tyrannical humans they replaced. George Orwell's 1945 novella is a biting political allegory for the corruption of the Russian Revolution and Soviet totalitarianism, and remains one of the most widely read satires of political power in literature.
