Animal Farm

The story follows overworked animals on a farm who revolt against their human oppressors, aiming to establish a utopia based on progress, justice, and equality. However, their idealism quickly devolves into a new form of tyranny, illustrating the cycle from revolution to totalitarianism. This powerful allegory critiques the Soviet regime and highlights the dangers of power and corruption. Banned in the Eastern bloc, it remains a significant political commentary of the 20th century, rich with satire and poignant themes.
