Animal Farm: A Timeless Political Allegory
By George Orwell
Unveiling the Complexities of Totalitarianism
George Orwell's Animal Farm, first published in 1945, remains a captivating and enduring work of political satire. It serves as a powerful allegory that examines the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Stalinism.
The novel follows a group of animals who rebel against their human farmer and establish their own society. However, their ideals of equality and freedom are quickly corrupted by the power-hungry pigs, who twist the revolution's principles to their own advantage.
Through this fable, Orwell incisively exposes the dangers of totalitarianism, the tyranny of the few over the many, and the erosion of individual rights and freedoms. Animal Farm has become an essential literary work for understanding the complexities of political power.
