If it could give an image of the future, it would present a society of animals that would have been freed from the fear of hunger and hardship, where everything would be equal, where each would work according to their abilities, where the strong would protect the weak.Instead of all this - without even finding a reason for it - they reached the point where they dared not speak their minds, where they saw wild dogs roaming threateningly everywhere and their comrades being torn apart after confessing terrible crimes. Animals of a certain form react to mistreatment and proceed to occupy the farm; they plan to create a paradise of justice, progress, and equality. Thus begins the most famous political allegory of the 20th century, which describes the story of a revolution against tyranny that went wrong - and led to a miserable and terrifying totalitarian regime. Animal Farm was read as a commentary on the Stalinist Soviet Union and remains relevant: a penetrating satire on power that corrupts and on authoritarian practices.
