In 1945, British author George Orwell published the literary classic Animal Farm, which was his first work that consciously wove political intent with artistic purpose, meant as a mirror held up to power, greed, and the seductive comforts of conformity.

Eighty years on, Orwell’s warning has not faded. Animal Farm persists as a global constant, with film adaptations, countless stage versions, translations, and reinterpretations across continents. The fable refuses to grow old – a testament to the many times history repeats its script.
