Because the pigs are better like when the pigs eat with the people.The relevance of the book depends on the reader. In the end of the book pigs get the most value. I think the book is a classic because it is a timeless story about the russian revolution.The issue in the book is that all animals aren’t equally valuable. It is mostly about animals but the animals are like people.The different species have different equality like the people in real life. The book impacted me and made me understand a bit about the Russian revolution. It became a great commercial success when it did appear partly because international relations were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to the Cold War. The manuscript was initially rejected by a number of British and American publishers, including one of Orwell’s own, Victor Gollancz, which delayed its publication.

Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and February 1944, when the UK was in its wartime alliance with the Soviet Union and the British people and intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem, a phenomenon Orwell hated. It also played on the French name of the Soviet Union, Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques. Orwell suggested the title Union des républiques socialistes animales for the French translation, which abbreviates to URSA, the Latin word for “bear”, a symbol of Russia. Other titular variations include subtitles like “A Satire” and “A Contemporary Satire”. publishers dropped the subtitle when it was published in 1946, and only one of the translations during Orwell’s lifetime kept it. The original title was Animal Farm: A Fairy Story U.S. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin (“un conte satirique contre Staline”), and in his essay “Why I Write” (1946), wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, “to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. “ Animal Farm” is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.
