Synopsis "La Ferme des Animaux: Edition originale de 1949 (in French)"

À la Ferme du Manoir, les animaux en ont assez d'être maltraités. Major l'ancien, leur doyen, leur a ouvert les yeux sur la tyrannie de l'Homme. Il faut faire la révolution ! Une fois le fermier banni, les animaux décident de ne plus se laisser commander. Pour veiller à cela, sept règles sont édictées et rédigées par les cochons. La dernière est claire: Tous les animaux sont égaux. Mais le temps passe, et les commandements changent, un par un. Jusqu'à ce qu'on puisse lire: Tous les animaux sont égaux, mais certains le sont plus que d'autres. Avec La ferme des animaux, Orwell propose une satire de la Révolution russe et une critique du régime soviétique, en particulier du stalinisme, et au-delà, des régimes autoritaires et du totalitarisme. Il décrit une ferme dans laquelle les animaux se révoltent, prennent le pouvoir et chassent les hommes.

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
