This engaging summary presents an analysis of Animal Farm by George Orwell, a tale about an animal revolution on a farm and its consequences.

Due to the political context at the time the book was written, Orwell had great difficulty finding a publisher willing to potentially upset the peace between the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. The book was eventually published in August 1945 and was universally acclaimed, even featuring in The Times' List of the 100 Best Novels. Orwell was an English writer born in British India.
