Like the workers of the world united to overthrow their rulers with theadvent of Communism, this book is a chilling allegory of events that take placewhen the animals of Mr. Jones’s Manor Farm decide to get rid of the owner andtake over the control of the farm themselves. The story relates the incidents in the farm to thehistorical events from the day that Communism was established in the erstwhileSoviet Union, and makes very interesting reading about what is termed’Animalism’ by the author.
