Animal Farm (Penguin) – George Orwell

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

In the satirical and politically rife land of the Manor Farm, all kinds of animals lived together and ran their civilization led by the visionary Old Major. Under Old Major the animals lead a revolt against their oppressive human owner Mr. Jones. Their dream is to establish a perfect society, which would be free from tyranny, where all animals (beings) will be equal.

The highly engaging, witty and endearing story aims to highlight the dangers of authoritarianism, and governments which pit citizens against each other. Through the compelling conversations between the animal residents of Manor Farm, the story highlights how language is used to manipulate and run propaganda to control the masses and rewrite history.

Animal Farm is a timeless and thought-provoking work, reminding readers the importance of thinking independently in order to safeguard democracy and individual liberties.
