About this ebook
Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, wrote the allegorical novella 'Animal Farm' as a critique of the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism. Through the use of farm animals as characters, Orwell satirically depicts the corruption of power and the dangers of totalitarianism. The book is written in a straightforward and concise style, making it accessible to a wide audience while still conveying its powerful message. Set in a farm where the animals revolt against their human farmer, 'Animal Farm' cleverly illustrates the cycle of oppression and the betrayal of the original revolutionary ideals. Orwell's literary context, shaped by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War and his disillusionment with Soviet communism, greatly influenced the themes of the book. His background as a journalist and political activist also adds depth to his scathing commentary on political systems and human nature. 'Animal Farm' is a timeless classic that offers valuable insights into the dangers of authoritarianism and the importance of vigilance in defending democratic values.
