The animals of Manor Farm dream of a life in which they are free from exploitation, able to share the fruits of their labour, and govern themselves. When they finally overthrow their human master, it seems that a new and fairer world is within reach. But as a new leadership takes shape, the ideals of the revolution begin to change—and the animals discover how easily a promise of equality can become another system of control.

In Animal Farm, George Orwell transforms a deceptively simple farmyard rebellion into a powerful allegory about political power, propaganda, inequality, and the corruption of ideals. Sharp, darkly funny and endlessly relevant, it is a classic warning about what happens when those entrusted to lead a community begin to serve themselves instead.
