George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel a scathing satire on a downtrodden society s blind march towards totalitarianism.
SOON TO BE A NETFLIX FILM!
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell s masterpiece have a meaning an d message still ferociously fresh.
Rezension:
Animal Farm remains our great satire on the darker face of modern history. Malcolm Bradbury
As lucid as glass and quite as sharp [Animal Farm] has the double meaning, the sharp edge, and the lucidity of Swift. Atlantic Monthly
A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times. The New York Times
Orwell has worked out his theme with a simplicity, a wit, and a dryness that are close to La Fontaine and Gay, and has written in a prose so plain and spare, so admirably proportioned to his purpose, that Animal Farm even seems very creditable if we compare it with Voltaire and Swift. Edmund Wilson, The New Yorker
Orwell s satire here is amply broad, cleverly conceived, and delightfully written. San Francisco Chronicle
The book for everyone and Everyman, its brightness undimmed after fifty years. Ruth Rendell
