One evening, the animals on an English farm drive out their master, who was starving them, and decide to run the farm themselves, in the name of equality. The pigs, quicker to learn, take charge of organising the work and writing the rules. But little by little the rules change, and no one can quite remember what they said at the start.
Behind its fairy-tale air, this short, sharp fable is about betrayed hopes, and words that pass off lies as progress.
Short and written in simple words, it is ideal for a first read in the language you are learning.
