What is animal farm george orwell?

Animal Farm is a political allegory novel by George Orwell, published in 1945. The story is set on a farm originally owned by Mr. Jones, a cruel and drunken farmer who mistreats his animals. The animals, led by the pigs, rebel against Mr. Jones and seize control of the farm, renaming it "Animal Farm." The pigs, particularly Napoleon and Snowball, become the leaders of the newly formed animal government.

The novel is a satirical critique of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, and utilizes anthropomorphism to not only create a more relatable story for readers, but also to emphasize the corrupt nature of the ruling class. The animals, who represent different segments of society, are exploited by the pigs, who represent the Politburo, in their quest for power and control.

Throughout the novel, Orwell employs various literary techniques, such as symbolism and irony, to highlight the hypocritical and oppressive nature of the ruling class. The final message of the novel is that power corrupts, no matter who possesses it.

Animal Farm has been widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, and has become a classic of modern literature. The book has been translated into many languages, and has been adapted into several films. It continues to be relevant today, and serves as a warning against totalitarianism and the dangers of unchecked power.
