Animal Farm - George Orwell

A tale of animals through which George Orwell presents a sarcastic satire and criticism of totalitarian regimes, and of human power and its deviations. One day, the animals decided, after being moved by the ideals of the old pig "Meijer", to revolt against their master, hoping to live an independent life where justice, cooperation and peace prevail among all. As for the enemy, it has been clearly defined: it is man, and the animals are unanimous in that.

But the pigs quickly achieved a monopoly on power, so they enslaved the rest of the animals and exploited their intelligence in order to control their fears and distorted the past in their favor, and the ideals were distorted very quickly, the general principles were corrupted, so the dictator "Napoleon" appeared, and he established self-reverence, and put other animals in a state of acquiescence to him, and exhausted them in exhausting work.

Despite this, he managed to keep the flame of hope within them, set an impossible goal for them, and promised them a better life, and left them inside this utopia. The years passed, and nothing distinguished the pigs from their former masters... In the end, nothing remained of the Seven Commandments that were written in the beginning on The wall, only one will.

“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.” This brilliant metaphor imagined by George Orwell illustrates the aberrations of politics and power. It also paints, in a stunning way, how the desire for change can lead to dictatorship, and how easy it is to control. into the mind of the other by flashy rhetoric, and how animals end up believing anything, ultimately prompting a meditation on the power of propaganda.
