Animal farm: a fairy story
4 stars
(5 reviews)
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master, Mr Jones, and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling 'fairy story' is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.
Martijn 🐖 reviewed Animal farm: a fairy story by George Orwell
A book of all times and scarily accurate
5 stars
This book gives a lot of thought about the current time, but has done so in previous years. The key takeaway is to take care of yourself, your rights and to stand up for what you believe is right.
A great insightful and easy read.
Thinly veiled communism
3 stars
Well, power corrupts, and leaders are all evil. Short at least, and will stick with you. Would liked to have seen Snowball have a final say
dsctm3 reviewed Animal farm: a fairy story by George Orwell
Clearly a preceeding work from George Orwell, reminiscent of his hit, 1984
5 stars
A much shorter and maybe even slightly more relatable dystopian story about a micro-society of intelligent farm animals turned authoritarianism. The story walks you through a process starting with great ideas for the common good, slowly perverted into one "persons" will.
A great, easy read that complimenets or perhaps precedes 1984. At least sets up the "early phase" of what 1984 portrays.
aldi80s reviewed Rebelión en la granja by George Orwell
Excelente analogía del comunismo.
5 stars
Una de las mejores analogías que he leído y en este caso, Orwell expone la cruda realidad del comunismo representada en los animales de la granja, donde los cerdos son los líderes del nuevo gobierno (nada mejor representado con los cerdos) y sus víctimas, los animales según el carácter de cada uno de ellos. Un libro recomendado.
