Written by visionary George Orwell, "Animal Farm," a political fable still studied all over the world, was published on this day in history, Aug. 17, 1945.
Orwell has said that "Animal Farm" was the first book in which he tried "to fuse political and artistic purpose into one whole." "Even the noblest of causes can be subverted by power and greed." Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
The novella tells the story of a group of barnyard animals that overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters — and set up an egalitarian society of their own, the same source chronicles.
