Aniimal Farm - George Orwell

Animal Farm
George Orwell
1945



a little novel, by animal characters, depicting the communist state...
in which Humans are Bourgeois and Animals are Proletariat!
The depiction resembles very much to as later we see practically in Soviet Union and China!
Animals call each other Comrades .... and finally they come to conclusion that:
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS


Wiki
"Time magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005); it also places at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels. It won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996 and is also included in the Great Books of the Western World.
The novel addresses not only the corruption of the revolution by its leaders but also how wickedness, indifference, ignorance, greed and myopia destroy any possibility of a Utopia. While this novel portrays corrupt leadership as the flaw in revolution (and not the act of revolution itself), it also shows how potential ignorance and indifference to problems within a revolution could allow horrors to happen if smooth transition to apeople's government is not satisfied."
