The famous satire of the Russian Revolution by George Orwell is such a part of our present society that we often forget who wrote the original lines.

It's the storey of how Mr. Jones' Manor Farm is transformed into Animal Farm, a totally democratic society founded on the belief that All Animals Are Created Equal.

In a slow evolution that bears an unsettling familiarity, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community as a result of their cunning.

The savage betrayal of the loyal horse Boxer culminates in the reestablishment of totalitarian control with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others.
