The story-parable “Animal Farm” is full of sharp sarcasm and political satire. The inhabitants of the farm personify the most terrible human vices, and the farm itself becomes a symbol of a totalitarian society. 
It all started with the old boar Leader calling on the livestock to rebel against their exploitative owners and take control of the farm into their own paws. A tempting idea that was enthusiastically taken up and successfully implemented. From now on, all animals are equal and work for each other’s benefit… But for how long? A poignant parable imbued with wisdom by the British writer George Orwell (1903−1950). Magnificent images, biting language, subtle satire… A brilliant interpretation of how “universal freedom, equality, brotherhood” can gradually and imperceptibly develop into a totalitarian regime and lawlessness of the ruling elite.
