Animal Farm
George Orwell
Penguin 1945
pp. 120
[ fiction, politics ]
Animal Farm is probably the greatest work of political satire ever
written. The animals take over the running of a farm, and everything is
wonderful for a while - until the pigs get out of hand... It is a
brilliant description of what happens when the revolution goes astray.
A knowledge of the events of the Russian revolution may increase the
reader's appreciation, but it's not necessary: the simplicity of the
ideas and the lucidity of the style make this suitable for children.
