George
Orwell's timeless fable - a parable for would-be liberators everywhere,
glimpsed through the lens of our own history
As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this
remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated
animals, and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and
equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As we witness
the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, we begin to
recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic
organization; and in our most charismatic leaders, the souls of our
cruelest oppressors.
