A la ferme du Manoir, la révolte gronde. Entraînés par les cochons, les animaux chassent l'homme qui les exploitait et prennent le pouvoir. Ils rêvent d'instaurer une démocratie dans laquelle chacun participera aux décisions et travaillera à sa mesure. Mais chassez la tyrannie, elle revient au galop. A travers cette fable à l'humour grinçant, George Orwell compose une virulente dénonciation du totalitarisme et invite à réfléchir sur la nature humaine. - Le texte intégral de l'oeuvre accompagné de notes de bas de page.
