Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society, only to be betrayed into worse servitude by their leaders, the pigs, whose slogan becomes: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

I believe that the success of th...
I'm not as enamored by this as 1984. But it's still a good book, certainly.
