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.
