Features: The animals of Manor Farm had long been dissatisfied with their unfair treatment, and the owner's neglect further accelerated their desire for rebellion. After two famous battles, the "Animal Farm Uprising" and the "Battle of the Cowshed," the animals overthrew their masters and took control. Among them, the two most outstanding pigs—Napoleon and Snowball—transformed the well-developed ideology of Animalism into the "Seven Commandments," which were further condensed into the maxim, "Four legs good, two legs bad." However, the good times did not last long. The pigs, under the guise of "intellectual laborers," gradually rose from a privileged class to become rulers. Napoleon emerged victorious in the power struggle, drove away his rival Snowball, and then carried out a bloody massacre, becoming the leader of the entire Animal Farm. The other animals had no choice but to endure in silence, though they remained rather puzzled: why had two-legged humans appeared in Animal Farm?
The author of Animal Farm, George Orwell, was a renowned British political satirist and critic. His original name was Eric Arthur Blair. Born in India in 1903, he moved back to England with his family in 1907. In late 1936, he participated in the Spanish Civil War but was sidelined. Upon returning to Britain, he was labeled a member of the left wing. During World War II, he worked for the BBC Eastern Service and wrote numerous political and literary reviews during this time. In 1950, he died of tuberculosis after years of suffering, at the age of 47.
