George Orwell's Animal Farm is a delightful satire and a deep political allegory about the corruption that power always brings with it. When the animals of Manor Farm decide to overthrow Mr. Jones, their human master, they believe that a life of freedom and equality awaits them. However, the more cunning and ruthless animals - the pigs - take over the management of the farm. Very soon, the other animals will find that their equality is not what the revolution had promised them and that one tyranny has been replaced by another. Banned by certain regimes around the world, Animal Farm has always been a political dynamite, with the original illustrations by artist Ralph Steadman.
