Animal Farm
Animal Farm is a powerful allegory about the rise of totalitarianism, told through the lens of farm animals who overthrow their human owner in search of equality and freedom. Led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, the animals initially strive for a society where all are equal. However, as time passes, the pigs become as oppressive as the humans they replaced, illustrating the corrupting influence of power. George Orwell uses this tale to critique political systems, particularly the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism. With a timeless message about power, corruption, and betrayal, Animal Farm remains one of the most influential works of political literature.
