The animals on a farm rebelled against Mr. Jones, the farmer, and created an independent «animal farm.» But, having seized power, the leaders of the uprising immediately forgot about the declared rules of a future happy life. In an allegorical form, the transformation of revolutionary principles and programs, the gradual transition from utopian ideas of universal equality to dictatorship and totalitarianism is depicted. The most famous quote «All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,» as well as Animal Farm novella itself, has not lost its relevance.
