Publisher Description
Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

Great read

A most read
I really enjoyed reading this it really shows how a movement with good intentions can be easily be corrupted . It was written excellently.
A must read!
The animal farm is a book full of hidden messages. There is many a metaphor in the form of the rebellion undertaken by the animals and all the ups & downs that come with it.
The different animals represent a certain kind of people in the population.
The sheep represent those who are easily influenced and likely to follow the crowd. The sheep are who the leaders rely on to mask the concern of others.
The pigs and their way of creating a hierarchy shows the manipulation and corruption it takes to deceive the ‘lower class’ animals.
In the end, the problems they assumed were only caused by humans end up infiltrating the animal farm.
There is a great amount to learn from this book, it’s more than just animals on a farm, it’s a genius way to convey the workings of politics and propaganda. It must be read multiple times and i’m sure each time there is something new to learn.
