Book Review:
George Orwell’s Animal Farm (1945) is a razor-sharp allegory that exposes the corrupting nature of power. When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their human master, they dream of a utopia where “All animals are equal.” But the pigs — especially the ruthless Napoleon — soon betray the revolution, turning the farm into a totalitarian state worse than the one they destroyed. Orwell wrote this as a critique of Stalin’s betrayal of the Russian Revolution, but its message rings true for any society where equality becomes a lie. Short, devastating, and darkly funny, Animal Farm remains one of the most important books of the 20th century. This Signet Classic edition includes a fine introduction by C. M. Woodhouse.
