Animal Farm

From RationalWiki

Animal Farm is a novella by George Orwell about an insurrection of farm animals against the human owner of the farm as an allegory for authoritarianism; its plot loosely tracks the Russian Revolution, the rise of communism, and its eventual betrayal and usurpation by Josef Stalin (represented in this book by the evil pig Napoleon) and the atrocities committed in its name.

Perhaps the best known quote from the work is, "All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others."
