La Ferme des animaux de George Orwell est une fable politique qui dénonce les dérives du pouvoir et la corruption des idéaux révolutionnaires. En racontant l’histoire d’animaux qui renversent leur maître humain pour établir une société égalitaire, Orwell propose une critique profonde des régimes totalitaires et de la manipulation politique.

Tired of suffering abuse, the animals on Jones's farm decide to rebel against their masters. After driving out the owner, they establish a new order based on equality. However, a new class of bureaucrats soon emerges among them—the pigs—who, with cunning, greed, and arrogance, impose themselves on the rest of the animals.

What happens when ill-treated farm animals gang up to throw out their lazy, corrupt and power-drunk rulers? Animal Farm is born. As humans get ousted from Manor Farm and animals take control, their utopian fantasy of running a farm on the basis of equality soon begins to crumble before their eyes. The rebellion of the animals, led by the two pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gives way to corrupt practices that lead to unthinkable consequences.
