The Silence of the Farm: An Allegory of Laws, Collapse, and the Folly of Speech Without Freedom
When every word is forbidden, silence becomes the loudest tyranny of all.
The Silence of the Farm is a darkly humorous allegory about freedom, fear, and the slow unraveling of common sense. It begins with a promise of peace and ends with a warning about what happens when protecting feelings becomes more important than preserving truth.
Why This Book Matters
Exposes how good intentions can spiral into control and conformity
Reveals the high cost of mistaking silence for safety
Offers a witty, unsettling mirror to modern debates over speech and sensitivity
Explores how censorship can disguise itself as kindness
Reminds us that harmony without honesty is just another form of tyranny
In a hidden valley once thought to be paradise, a band of animals breaks free from human masters to build a society of their own. Their first law is pure: Do No Harm. But soon, words themselves are declared violent. A pig stands trial for calling a goose's garden crooked. A rooster is muzzled for crowing at dawn. Courts fill with petty grievances, justice becomes theater, and silence turns into a virtue.
As fear spreads and the valley begins to starve, only the mockingbirds dare to sing-jeering, laughing, and exposing the hypocrisy of laws that punish the honest while sparing the absurd.
Witty, tragic, and eerily familiar, The Silence of the Farm is a fable about a community that tried to outlaw offense-and lost its voice instead.
