Actually it reminds me all of a book I read recently. It was about a group of farm animals who lead a bloody uprising against their oppressors only for it all to go horribly wrong and end in tragedy. Sound familiar? It should because it was written by the Polish novelist Wladyslaw Reymont in 1922, twenty years or so before before George Orwell miraculously came up with the same idea.... coincident? Who knows?
