About the Book:. Animal Farm follows a group of farm animals who rise up against their neglectful human owner in the hope of building a fairer, more equal society. What begins as an optimistic revolution slowly curdles as the pigs, led by the cunning Napoleon, consolidate power and rewrite the founding principles of the farm to suit their own ends. Through spare, deceptively simple prose, Orwell dissects how language can be twisted into propaganda, how revolutionary ideals can be hollowed out from within, and how power tends to concentrate among the few at the expense of the many. Characters such as the loyal horse Boxer and the world-weary donkey Benjamin embody different responses to political upheaval and quiet complicity. First published in 1945 as a satire of Stalinist Russia, the novella's warnings about totalitarianism and the corruption of ideals have proved timeless, and it remains a staple of school curricula and reading lists worldwide.
