Animal Farm - George Orwell

One of George Orwell's best books, a political fable based on the events of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and Stalin's betrayal of the cause.

The book shows a group of farm animals who overthrow their exploitative human rulers and establish an egalitarian society of their own.

In the end, the intelligent and power-loving leaders of the animals, the pigs, undermine the revolution. Concluding that "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" they form a dictatorship more oppressive and heartless than that of their former human masters.

Time Magazine and BBC included the book in the Top 100 Best Books Ever Written
