George Orwell’s evergreen book, Animal Farm is today marking 75 years since it was first published by the British publishing company, Penguin Books.

The author of the book, George Orwell, whose original name was Eric Blair, achieved the superb work of satire with a fusion of fanciful human and animal characters telling the story of a group of farm animals who revoted against the human farmer with a hope to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and merry but this was not achieved as the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as disarray under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

Animal Farm which was first released on August 17, 1945, has been described by many book lovers as a grand piece of literature and it is mostly known for the line, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
