The Russian Revolution. Czar Nicolas II. Communism. All of these and so much more can be found in the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. This book is a representation of the Russian Revolution with animals representing the people and factors. This includes not only the people but also things such as propaganda and religion. Not only do you learn of an important revolution, you learn how external variables play a very important role in important situations. This shows just how much a seemingly irrelavent can play a very important role.


This book also shows the true side of a corrupt leader. In it, you meet a character who becomes drunk with power. They go around, doing as they please, using the unknown to their advantage. This book truly represents “power corrupts;absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
