Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to
feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the
pigs Napoleon and Wellington leads to the animals taking over the farm.
Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed
Animal Farm is organized to benefit all who walk on four legs.
But as
time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten.
And something new and unexpected emerges...
Animal Farm – the
history of a revolution that went wrong – is George Orwell’s brilliant
satire on the corrupting influence of power.
