The most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories, Animal
Farm is the account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their
vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind,
can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very
few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and
moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark
comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message. Taking as his starting point
the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that,
in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the
possible consequences of our social and political acts.
