Animal Farm is a brilliant political satire and a powerful and affecting story of revolutions and idealism, power and corruption. 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.' Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges..

Animal Farm as mentioned in book cover is the ultimate satire on fascism. A timeless classic put up in the simplest way possible which even a kid with no political understanding could grasp. But the novel demonstrates vast political problems through the eyes of animals instead of being through man. Inspired from the communist atmosphere in Russia the work also portrays author's belief towards democracy. While the work simplified complex politics it may lead the readers to easy conclusions on the power dynamics of various ideologies and systems. Orwell was too critical on the matter and portrays communism as only as a bad conduct and denies the even good in it and promotes anti-communist norm amongst readers. Still the novel stands as an important work and even in these days is a thing for debates and discussions.
Un classique de George Orwell, toujours plaisant et intéressant à lire.
