Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in the UK in 1945. It is the tale of farm animals that rebel against the farmer, intending to establish a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. With stirring slogans, they set out to create utopia. However, the rebellion is betrayed and the farm ends up in a state worse than it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

This is the setting for one of the most revealing satiric fables of all time - an acerbic tale for adults that records the process from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism which is even worse. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was its target. Today it is quite clear that wherever and whenever freedom is suppressed, the message of George Orwell’s masterpiece is still relevant. Time Magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. It also features at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels.

I preferred this book over 1984 but it has a lot of key similarities (probably by design). I liked this one more because it wasn’t as dragged out as 1984 and it was easier to grasp the point. Definitely would recommend if highschool students need a book to read (technically a novella) for english class.

How funny to listen to it again and feel like it is still so relevant.we still have people think they are following Marx and have obviously only been told an interpretation of his writings….those who say they fight oppression for all only end up being as bad as the previous greedy men.

Still relevant story
