The animals on Mr. Jones’ farm revolt against their human masters and violently expel them. Led by the pigs they decide to run the farm themselves on egalitarian principles. In the course of time, the pigs themselves become corrupted by power, and a new tyranny is established under their leader Napoleon. Cast in the form of a satirical fable directed primarily against Stalin’s Russia, Animal Farm by George Orwell tells us how power game can become the quintessential story of greed, corruption, betrayal, and ruination. Hailed as a modern classic, this book has remained very popular, especially with young readers.
