A classic that every one must read about the vicious cycle of rebellions and freedom. The story is setup in a farm where the animals are fed up of being slaves to the owner who is a human. They are fed up that the profits are cornered by the owner whereas they do all the hard word. And then, there comes a rebellion. They take over the farm and live happily but only for a while. One can relate it to events that happened several times in human history. A simplistic and amusing tale of how society evolves, with subtle shades of advice on how it could have.
At the end, these last few lines sum it up nicely. "Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question,now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which".
