It is still a keen area of debate whether Animal Farm remains relevant for readers of this generation, and I certainly believe it is. After reading the book, I found its themes and messages just as powerful, moving and relevant as they must have been seven decades ago…
About the Book

Plot : Animal Farm is an allegorical novel by George Orwell, which is set in a world where animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that…
Review
Animal Farm is set in a farmyard where the animals decide to seize the farmer’s land and create a co-operative that reaps the benefits of their combined labors. However, some animals see a bigger share of the rewards than others, and the animals start to question their supposed utopia. Little by little, the rules begin to mysteriously change, and the pigs seem to gain power little by little, making the animals question what society they were striving for in the first place and whether their new-found freedom is as liberating as they might have hoped.
Animal Farm is easily the most famous work of political allegory ever written. The animals take over the running of a farm, and everything is wonderful for a while… until the pigs get out of hand. It is a brilliant description of what happens when the revolution goes astray. Allegory is hard to do gracefully, but Orwell manages it superbly. While true appreciation of Animal Farm requires an understanding of the history of the Russian revolution, those without it will still get the point. And Animal Farm can even be appreciated as a story by children with no understanding of the political message at all !!
The story can be enjoyed as the simple, moving and enlightening parable it essentially is, a story that clearly shows humankind at its best and very worst. For me, it highlights the demons within every human — jealousy, greed, laziness and cruelty born of fear.
The slow ironic twist from the original purpose of the Seven Commandments, which were supposed to keep order within Animal Farm by uniting the animals together against the humans and preventing animals from following the humans’ evil habits, demonstrates how simply political dogma can be turned into twisted propaganda.
Reading the new commandments i.e. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”, and “Four legs good, two legs better!” gives you the complete 360 degree turn of the entire movement.
Animal Farm is moving, bitter and a warning from history — one of which will of course be ignored, for that is what humans excel at, repeating the errors and misjudgements of the past. It is a book that anyone could and should read…

hey mate ur is below...
Overall, this book 1s set in the foreground of a future time when animals have become much cleverer than now
and the pigs go on to start a revolution against the humans. Since pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the
other animals, they assume the power to be leaders.
Let's review the prelude first. So, here is some background to the foreground...
Old Major, the pigs first leader, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon becomes
the leader it gets very unpleasant because he made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that
condemned all of the other animals to do backbreaking work every day and night . To top it all, Napoleon the pig
wanted more power. He decides to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would become the undisputed leader.
Snowball was popularly admired by the pigs and other animals as he had come up with an ingenious idea to build
windmill and also because of his role in the revolution. He and a hard working horse, Boxer, were the wisest of the
lot. This selfish pig, Napoleon, destroyed the windmill that the animals had built and blamed Snowball who
escaped the farm. Napoleon made the animals work even harder, making them famished and even die. If any of the
animals were found to be clever like Napoleon, he would just get them executed. My favourite character in the
story is the hardworking horse Boxer, who would work the hardest of the animals, and work untiringly
irrespective of how old he gets. Realising his social situation in the hierarchy, he never complained to Napoleon,
and rather slyly said, "Napoleon is always right" till the time turned favourable to him later on in the story. This
b0ok made me reminisce another book from my past reading, whose name I fail to recall, in which the protagonist
is like Snowball and the anti-hero is like Napoleon. The latter defeats the former but then turns tyrannical and
conceited to finally invite his own downfall.
