A criticism of post WWII Soviet politics, a powerful and well written allegory. Orwell was sure that his audience knew just exactly who and what Animal Farm was about. I’ve read this book several times and it remains a glimpse into history that people should not take lightly. It might be a representation of history through the use of talking animals but in it you can clearly see that those who cannot remember the past are destined to repeat it.
Animals on Manor Farm rebel against their mistreatment and abuse by their human owners, fueled by a future described to them by charismatic animal leaders. But as time passes, the grass is not as green as was promised and while all animals are equal, they are told that some are more equal than others.
