O romance atemporal de George Orwell Uma sátira sobre a cega aceitação de uma sociedade ao totalitarismo Uma fazenda é tomada por seus animais maltratados e sobrecarregados. Com idealismo inflamado e slogans emocionantes, eles se propuseram a criar um paraíso de progresso, justiça e igualdade. Assim, o palco está armado para uma das fábulas satíricas mais contundentes já escritas - um conto de fadas afiado como navalha para adultos que registra a evolução da revolução contra a tirania para um terrível totalitarismo. Esta obra foi publicada pela primeira vez tendo a Rússia stalinista como seu alvo. Hoje é óbvio entender que, em qualquer tempo e em qualquer lugar, se a liberdade for atacada, sob qualquer bandeira, a clareza cortante e a comédia selvagem da obra-prima de George Orwell têm um significado e uma mensagem assustadoramente recentes. "Todos os animais são iguais, mas alguns animais são mais iguais do que outros."
