Притча, сповнена гіркої іронії і сарказму. Трагікомічна історія спільноти тварин, що зважилися позбутися пригноблення людьми, і потрапила під бузувірську владу свиней.

У повісті зображена еволюція спільноти наївних революціонерів-тварин, які вигнали з ферми її власника — невдаху містера Джонса: еволюцію від романтичної свободи і рівності до диктатури підступного і корисливого кнура на прізвисько Наполеон.

Творчість письменника традиційно відносять до наукової фантастики. Частково погоджуючись з цим, сам автор стверджує, що не стільки фантаст, скільки "казкар, мораліст і людина, що дивиться уперед". У творах Рея Бредбері дійсно багато нестандартного, фантазійного, того, що відрізняється від дійсності. Як прогнозист і футуролог письменник заздалегідь передбачив появу багатьох тепер звичних для нас речей: одягу для тварин, гаджетів типу смартфонів і т. п. При цьому сам автор обмежено користувався благами цивілізації: не літав літаком і самостійно лагодив авто.
