Animal Farm

Animal Farm is a brilliant political allegory and satirical fable that tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer. Hoping to create a society where all animals are equal, free, and happy, they soon find themselves under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. The novel is a powerful critique of how revolutionary ideals can be corrupted by power and totalitarianism, famously concluding that "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".
