The place to be is a simple farm. People here have the rule and let the animals feel well on the farm who has the final say. But that should change soon. The animals enter a window of opportunity and revolt. The people are displaced, and then on a new government is formed under the leadership of the pig. This new government based on socialist ideals. This new company now has a prime directive: All animals are equal. Ambitious projects for the improvement of the general prosperity begin. It seems that begins a golden age for the animals. But even that will last from any time, and as soon turns out that "some animals are more equal than others". Without too much from the action to reveal, you can decrypt but already some of the symbols. The whole book is like the simplified history of Soviet-socialist revolution -. with men as aristocrats and even pigs as Bolshevik leaders The entire novel is full before symbols, and you can carry surprisingly powerful parallels with the course of history of the Soviet Union and other important characters and social classes are represented Besides the interesting symbolism.. also leaves the spelling nothing to be desired. The action on the Animal Farm remains from the first print to the last thrilling, even though the end is quite vorrausehbar. I highly recommend this classic of literature. But I would warn against is one of the many movie tie-ins without looking to have previously read the book, most conversions are not exact, and change the message of the Book of Animal Farm.
