Animal Farm Book Summary

Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

Animal Farm has to do with the capacity for ordinary individuals to continue to believe in a revolution that has been utterly betrayed. Orwell attempts to reveal how those in power—Napoleon and his fellow pig's pervert the democratic promise of the revolution. The animals complete harvest and meet every Sunday to debate farm policy. When Jones forgets to feed the animals.

Animal Farm is a 1945 anti-utopian satire by George Orwell. It is political fable based on the events of Russia's Bolshevik revolution and Joseph Stalin's betrayal of the cause. The story follows a group of barnyard animals that overthrow and chase away their exploitative human rulers in order to establish their own egalitarian civilization. Pigs, the intelligent and power-hungry leaders of animals, eventually betray the revolution. The pigs construct a dictatorship even more harsh and merciless than their former human masters, concluding that "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" (with its addendum to the animals' seventh commandment: "All creatures are equal").
