ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS...you need to read this book even for this sentence.

"Animal farm" rappresenta, in sintesi e in chiave satirica e allegorica, il completo fallimento di qualsiasi ricerca della perfetta forma di governo. In particolare Orwell si scaglia contro la Rivoluzione russa e il totalitarismo di Stalin, ma più in generale si trovano elementi comuni in molti altri Stati. Ogni animale allude a un personaggio realmente esistito (Palladineve è Trotskij, Jones è... read more

Got persuading into reading this and so glad I did, from the description the person gave me i didn't think i'd like this but it was actually really good. A really powerful message is sent out by this book. A must read for everyone!

Description: It is an analogy of the Russian Revolution. The story is told through the eyes of animals that overthrow their drunken farmer. The animals then make rules for the farm and all starts off well. The pigs quickly rise to power. The two main pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, vie for control. Then Napoleon raises two litters of puppies and turns them into his private fighting force which he uses to chase Snowball off the farm. After that things go downhill rapidly. By the end, their society was far worse off than when the drunken farmer was in charge. Early on in the book when they are forming laws one of the laws they make wa ... (more)

“animal farm ou revolução dos bichos é um livro escrito em 1945 pelo romancista anglo George Orwell responsável por obras como 1984 e narra de forma satírica uma revolução que ocorre entre os animais de uma fazenda inglesa onde reivindicam os direitos sobre os meios de produção. Cabe deixar claro que esse livro é uma sátira sobre um período específico da história, ou seja, a revolução russa que foi levada a cabo por Vladmir Lenin, organizada por Leon Trotsky e governada com mão de ferro por Joseph Stalin, o livro é uma crítica ácida ao socialismo e toda essa ideia de igualitarismo que estava na moda nos anos 30 e 40. Também vejo necessário explicar que os personagens principais são paralelismos com personagens reais, bola de neve é uma analogia a Leon Trotsky, Napole” read more

Bien, rebelión en la granja es una novela corta que hace una sátira sobre el gobierno, la sociedad la política del mundo y puede servir como un parámetro para conocer la literatura del escritor George Orwell, y que fue una especie de precursora para su obra más popular “1984”, es imposible que no salga una comparación entre ambas obras, pero más de eso después, “Rebelión en la granja” es famosa por ser una de las “primeras” historias (conocidas) en la que un nuevo tipo de sociedad es gobernado por métodos burocráticos y políticos, la novela se basa en gran parte en criticar este aspecto lo que la convierte en una anti utópica que satiriza las instrucciones.

George Orwell es un escritor británico y es conocido hoy en día por esto mismo, ser un” read more

"Historia buena, no la gran cosa pero vale la pena ver la visión del autor en el relato. Es bastante explicito: aunque en su aspecto político al menos es parcial, pese a que no tiene una conclusión exacta con éste aspecto. (Término de la lectura: 2 de enero de 2021)."

"Meant as a striking allegory of the rise and degeneration Stalin-era Soviet Union, Animal Farm is still one of the most powerful and depressing novels ever written."

"Klassikkotavaraahan tämä on. Lukeminen on edelleen väistynyt elokuvien tieltä, mutta koin velvollisuudeksi lukea tämän ennen elokuvaversiota, sillä vuoden -54 animaatio ei käsittääkseni ole likimainkaan niin hyvä mitä alkuperäisteos. Tätä helpotti myös se, että Orwellin klassinen satiiri on vain vähän yli sadan sivun mittainen. Kepeään ja (alussa) kevytmieliseen eläinsatuun puettua tarinaa on myös kieltämättä helppo lukea, sillä se tekee kaiken ajatustyön puolestaan. "

"The final book I read in middle school ended up being my all-time favorite book for a while, and I credit for maturing my reading tastes. I had great fun with the class I was reading with. One showed us a movie trailer done in Minecraft starring 50 Cent and Justin Bieber. It's as ridiculous as it sounds."
