When the neglected animals of Manor Farm rise up against their human oppressor, they believe they are creating a society of equality, freedom, and fairness. Inspired by the ideals of rebellion, the pigs Snowball and Napoleon lead the charge, driving out Mr. Jones and taking control. The farm is renamed Animal Farm, and for a moment, hope flourishes.

But power quickly begins to corrupt. As Napoleon outmaneuvers his rival, consolidates control, and eliminates dissent, the animals find themselves under a new kind of tyranny. Promising unity while demanding loyalty, Napoleon elevates himself above the rest, enforcing harsh rules and rewriting historyall while insisting that the farm remains free.

First published in 1945, Animal Farm is George Orwells brilliant political allegory of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. With biting clarity and dark wit, Orwell exposes how noble ideals can be twisted by those in power, and how revolutions can give way to new forms of oppression. Timeless and chillingly relevant, it remains one of the most powerful critiques of authoritarianism ever written.
