Animal Farm by George Orwell

Animal Farm is a satirical allegory by George Orwell, first published in England in 1945.The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against farmer Jones, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

According to Orwell, the fable reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole."
