Animal Farm

Orwell's simple but tragic fable, his classic satire of the Russian Revolution, has become a world-famous classic of English prose. Old Major, the boar, dreams of farms run by animals for animals, with liberty and equality for all. When the animals of Manor Farm, led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, drive out Farmer Jones and set up Animal Farm the dream seems to be coming true. But as the pigs become more powerful Old Major's vision turns horribly sour. Their original democratic credo the "All Animals Are Created Equal," and their subsequent brave struggle results sadly in a new totalitarian regime and a new maxim "But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others."
