About The Book
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals.
With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality.
Thus, the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned –a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
My Thoughts
If there is a story that was relevant yesterday, is relevant today, and will remain a force of Social satirical allegorical novella, is Animal Farm.
The book is so brilliant that it is s still banned in some counties.
There is a saying in Bengali, it goes like “Everyone is a Ravan in their own Kingdom.” This is what is reflected in this story. A bunch of animals rebels against their human farmer, hoping for a society that is equal, free, and happy.
However, ultimately, the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.
A book published in 1945 is still relevant today and speaks for its own brilliance.
I highly recommend this book.
