One of the most celebrated works of modern literature, Animal Farm
is George Orwell's satire on the Russian Revolution of 1917 and
Stalin's subsequent rule. It tells the story of the animals of Manor
Farm, as they rise up against the drunken farmer Mr Jones and the
ensuing leadership battle between two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon. They
set in motion their 'system of thought', Animalism, a clear play on
Communism, with seven tenets including, 'All animals are equal but some
animals are more equal than others.'
