Animal Farm

by George Orwell
Animal Farm - Thryft
Animal Farm - Thryft

Revolution's corrupted consequences, told by farm animals.

Animal Farm is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the historical consequences of the Russian Revolution. It presents an allegorical tale of how power corrupts even the most well-intentioned political movements, as told through the perspective of barnyard animals. The novel is especially poignant for those with prior knowledge of communism or the Russian Revolution.

Description

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
