Animal Farm, one of the great social satires of our century, is based upon modern Eastern European history. First published in 1945, it is the classic fable of the utopian dream and the corruptive influences of power. When the animals at Manor Farm revolt against their master, Mr. Jones, their goal is to take over the farm and establish an ideal community based on hard work, honesty, and the equality of all animals. Guided by the memory of Old Major's utopian vision and the seven commandments, Animal Farm, as the animals have renamed it, briefly fulfills the ideal. Memories are short, however, and soon-through manipulation and aggression by those who assume power-the farm's founding principles are slowly eroded and abolished. Decades after its debut, Animal Farm is still a relevant and powerful tale of how blind allegiance to political leaders leads to ruin.

Best way to describe the current political system of any country!Love the ending remark - Is it a pig or a human?

This is a very unique book... though it treads the line of fictional fantasy it does have a lot of meaning to it. Sometimes I feel this is probably a self help book (though its not).Its a small one, a very unique one. Good read for sure.

The narration was brilliant superb no issues....The story was really good and it can be completely related with our practical situation.... But I really liked the first half of the book more where there was unity among the animals😌
