From Shmoop Literature on George Orwell's Animal Farm

http://www.shmoop.com/intro/literature/george-orwell/animal-farm.html

In a Nutshell

Published in 1946, Animal Farm is one of George Orwell's most famous works, a political satire about animals and the oppressive humans they overthrow. The tale mirrors the Russian Revolution of the early twentieth century, as the working class (animals) overthrows the leadership (humans) to run the farm themselves, only to find that their new leaders are more oppressive than the old. This scathing parable mounts a hugely poignant attack on political idealism, making its points through humor, not to mention the talking animals.
