内容简介：马诺尔农庄一只名叫老梅杰的猪在提出了“人类剥削动物，动物须革命”的理论之后死去，几个月后，农庄里掀起了一场由猪领导的革命，原来的剥削者——主人琼斯先生被赶走，动物们实现了“当家作主”的愿望，尝到了革命果实的甘美，马诺尔农庄被更名为“动物农庄”，还制定了七戒。然而不久，两只领头的猪为了权力而互相倾轧，胜利的一方宣布另一方是叛徒、内奸，猪们逐渐侵占了其他动物的劳动成果，成为新的特权阶级，“所有动物一律平等”的原则被修正为“但有些动物比其他动物更平等”，动物们又恢复到从前的悲惨状况。
When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal.Every animal is equal and pigs are with no exceptions.Gradually,however,pigs become leaders and stand out from the normal crowd animals.They drink alcohol,sleep in bed,control rations,stand in hind legs and eventually the highest ruler Napoleon grows a human face……After reading George Orwell's another novel-1984,I can see a lot of similarities in this one:both novels are sarcastic about the Soviet Communism,history can be changed by the rulers wish,food rations are strictly controled,the highest leader can do whatever he wants but the root crowds have been blocked to the path of the truth.Seven Commandements have been altered delicately and completely:"four legs good,two legs bad" became "four legs good,two legs better.""all animals are equal" became "all animals are equal but some animals are more equa
