- Animal Farm is an allegorical novel. It tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer.

Ultimately, however, the uprising is betrayed and the farm ends up in a state worse than it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. According to Orwell, the fable reflects events that led to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union being a warning against any totalitarian regime to this day. | In addition to being a brilliant political allegory, this book is incredibly emotionally moving, beautifully written, eloquent, and profound.
