Animal Farm: Penguin English Library

'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others'

 

When  the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones  and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a  life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite  among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to  take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as  equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one  form of tyranny is replaced with another.
