(5 reviews)
Mr. Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organized to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges...
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.
