description -
This classic allegorical novel by George Orwell tells the story of a group of animals that rebel against their human masters, forming a utopian society on a small farm. A timeless satire of totalitarianism, Animal Farm highlights the dangers of unchecked power and emphasizes the importance of education and critical thinking.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
