Animal Farm is a biting allegorical fable that dissects the anatomy of revolution and the inevitable corruption of power. Through the uprising of animals on Manor Farm, Orwell presents a scathing satire of the betrayal of socialist ideals by totalitarian regimes. With prose that is deceptively simple yet profoundly layered, he illustrates how pure idealism regarding equality can be systematically eroded by ambition and manipulation, ultimately birthing a new structure of oppression far more ruthless than the one it replaced.
