Životinjska farma

George Orwell

This book is a sharp satire on the blind march of an oppressed society towards totalitarianism. A timeless fairy tale for adults, it carries the clear message that an attack on freedom, under whatever banner or policy, inevitably leads to tyranny.

The story is set on Manor Farm, where animals, led by pigs, rebel against their owner, Mr. Jones, for their mistreatment and exploitation. Inspired by the speech of the old boar, Old Major, who preaches equality and freedom, the animals take over the farm and declare it Animal Farm. They establish the Seven Commandments of Animalism, the foundation of which is: "All animals are equal."

"The pigs Napoleon and Snow White take the lead, but their rivalries lead to conflict. Napoleon, with the help of the dogs he has raised as his army, expels Snow White and establishes a dictatorship. He gradually breaks the commandments of Animalism, changing them to justify his power. The animals work harder and harder, while the pigs live in luxury, cooperating with humans and adopting their habits. The key commandment changes to: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." In the end, the animals can no longer distinguish pigs from humans, symbolizing the complete collapse of the ideals of the revolution.

It is believed that Animal Farm was written as a response to the Stalinist Soviet Union in which different principles than the publicly proclaimed freedom and equality ruled. Today, however, it is devastatingly clear that, wherever and whenever freedom is under attack in the world, the stark clarity and tragicomicity of George Orwell's masterpiece shines with equal force almost eighty years later.
