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.

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.
