An ironic and at the same time sad story about the desecration of the ideas of socialism by tyrants, is told by the author in the form of a fairy tale, where the animals of an ordinary British farm act as people. Every animal and every bird is a socio-political type. The events in the book will remind the reader of the history of the Soviet state. Here we see events starting from the revolution and ending with the final collapse of all the hopes of the inhabitants of the court, the reduction of all sacred commandments to a simple and precise formula: All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
