Insel Verlag Animal Farm

A farm, a revolution – and the desperate dream of freedom The animals on the farm of drunkard Mr Jones are neglected, exploited and mistreated – until one day they decide to rise up. Led by the most intelligent among them, the pigs, they overthrow their human oppressor and establish a new set of rules for communal life: All animals are equal! A happier life seems within reach, but slowly, new power structures begin to emerge … and those who were once oppressed morph into tyrants. Written back in 1945, George Orwell’s incisive dystopian novel remains as relevant as ever.
