Animal Farm by George Orwell is a powerful political allegory that explores the rise of tyranny and the corruption of ideals. Set on a seemingly ordinary farm in England, the novel tells the story of a group of animals who overthrow their human farmer, dreaming of a society built on equality and freedom.
