The Story
Animal
Farm is perhaps Orwell's best-known work. A barnyard full of
idealistic animals stages a rebellion to throw off their chains
of slavery and human oppression, and is faced with the challenges
of their hard-won liberty: Who is the leader? Who makes the decisions?
The pigs, smartest of the animals, quickly accept the task… What
follows is a fascinating lesson in civics and a compelling exploration
of the problem of direct democracy.
Animal Farm compellingly addresses modern questions of free speech, political protest, and asks why the very nature of democracy appears to contain the seeds of its own destruction. When the elected leaders-begin to abuse their power, and dissent is suppressed with fear-mongering slogans and propaganda, Animal Farm becomes a chilling parable for today.
