Description

A universal framework for understanding, applicable to any era where power disguises itself, masks itself, justifies itself.<div> Tired of being exploited by their owner Mr. Jones, the animals on a farm revolt in order to create a just and egalitarian society.</div><div> But the conduct of this revolution is the subject of debate and between the two most eminent pigs, natural leaders, Snowball and Napoleon a real power struggle ensues.</div><div> Using animals as the main characters in this allegory, Orwell wants to show us that all power grabs are part of the same mechanism: simplification of language, manipulation of the masses through violence, dramatization of everyday events, but above all through the use of dissimulation.</div><div> Today, one only needs to listen to our politicians to realize that simple, even simplistic, language is poisoning political discourse. One only needs to watch the news to understand that many facts are being distorted.</div><div> New communication technologies are tools at the disposal of leaders, allowing them to manipulate the people. The sheep in "Animal Farm" have become docile consumers, subservient to the laws of the market. Orwell intended this text, written in 1945, to be accessible to all. The reflections it inspires are essential and forward-looking. One of them is the importance of vigilance.</div>
