Animal Farm (1945) - satirical allegory of the Russian Revolution, particularly directed against Stalin´s Russia. Led by the pigs, the Animals on Mr Jones´s farm revolt against their human masters. After their victory they decide to run the farm themselves on egalitarian principles. Inspired by the example of Boxer, the hard-working horse, the cooperation prosper. The pigs become corrupted by power and a new tyranny is established under Napoleon (Stalin). ´All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.´ Snowball (Trotsky), an idealist, is driven out. The final betrayal is made when the pigs engineer a rapproachement with Mr Jones. The book was originally rejected for publication by T.S. Eliot in 1944, but has gained since its appearance in 1945 a status of a classic. - Film adaptation from 1955 was a faithful rendition of Orwell´s original work, but watered in the end the satire, and presented a socialist viewpoint: the system is good, but the individuals are corruptible.
