"Todos los animales son iguales, pero algunos animales son más iguales que otros", con esa demoledora frase, la revolución que los esclavizados animales impulsaron para liberarse de la opresión humana cae en la interminable redundancia del poder corruptor; en esta sátira política de rabitos, hocicos y patas, George Orwell alegoriza cómo el gobierno de Stalin pervirtió los ideales comunistas de la Unión Soviética hasta convertirlos en un reinado del más autoritario terror. Este libro se ha convertido en lectura obligada para las juventudes del mundo.
