Animal Farm by George Orwell

When the oppressed animals of Manor Farm defeat their master Mr. Jones and take over the farm for themselves, they envisage it to be the beginning of independence and abundance. However a devious and heartless elite among the animals starts to take control and the other animals find themselves helplessly trapped as another gradually replaces one form of dictatorship. A resounding fable on totalitarianism and power-gone-corrupt, Animal Farm is an allegorical novella that took the publishing world by storm when it was first published and hasn’t stopped doing so ever since. The ultimate satire on fascism, Animal Farm finds relevance even in present-day world. A must-read!
