Animal Farm by George Orwell
How do we know what is true? What happens when those in power manipulate the truth for their advantage? How does propaganda distort the truth. Which is better; liberty or equality? How does corruption affect power? And if left unchecked, does "absolute power corrupt absolutely?"
Animal Farm is an allegorical and dystopian novel by George Orwell, published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. Orwell was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror. - Wikipedia
