Animal Farm

A farm, a revolution and the desperate dream of freedom

The animals on the farm of drunkard Mr Jones are neglected, exploited and mistreated until one day they decide to rise up. Led by the most intelligent among them, the pigs, they overthrow their human oppressor and establish a new set of rules for communal life: All animals are equal!

A happier life seems within reach, but slowly, new power structures begin to emerge and those who were once oppressed morph into tyrants.

Written back in 1945, George Orwell's incisive dystopian novel remains as relevant as ever.
