The revolution is successful and the ‘Principles of Animalism’, the commandments for just governance are laid as ‘Manor Farm’ is changed to ‘Animal Farm’. Major’s death brings forth the new brigade of leadership – Snowball and Napoleon, the pigs to the forefront. Old Major, the white boar had a dream and he conveys his wisdom on how animal slavery and misery will not end unless governed by their own clan. The book begins with the animals of Mr.Jones’ farm planning for a revolution against their biggest enemy – their owner, ‘the Man’. The little research, read the cover picture and the blurb which said ‘ Animal Farm is a resounding fable on totalitarianism and power-gone-corrupt’, led me to click the magic key. Years later, in the times of Amazon, this benign shopping site suggested ‘Animal Farm’ in recommended list to be proceeded to the cart. I think I have the brown coloured book jackets (the ones that would read Complete Works in twenty-volume series!) lined in the dusty old college library rack to blame for this delay. I came to George Orwell quite late in life. ‘Animal Farm’ is the second book from the Orwellian world, after ‘1984’ which I read. I am beginning the ‘A2Z’ series with ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell. ![]()
