The barnyard animals revolt against their vicious human master only to submit to a tyranny created by their own kind. When the boar, Old Major, shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can thrive on their own once the despot Jones is overthrown. He’s drunk, reckless and cares little for their welfare. The animals at Manor Farm have had enough of Farmer Jones. One of Time magazine’s 100 best English-language novels and the most famous of all twentieth-century political allegories, Animal Farm: A Fairy Story by George Orwell is a wise, compassionate and illuminating fable that remains the ultimate satire on the dark side of modern history.
