ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
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.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
In the ruins of a post-apocalyptic world, the totalitarian government of Oceania has risen from the ashes. The Party, led by the omnipresent Big Brother, exercises total control over its citizens, suppressing any form of dissent or independent thought. But Winston Smith, a rebellious spark in the darkness, refuses to conform. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the Party, Winston must confront the dark secrets of his own past and the true nature of the totalitarian regime. Will he be able to overcome the all-pervasive surveillance and control, or will he succumb to the Party's crushing grip?
Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, Orwell's book describes corruption and imperial bigotry. Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr Veraswami, a black enthusiast for the Empire, whose downfall can only be prevented by membership at an all-white club.
