    • This has to be one of my favorite books of all time. I have read it a few times and it never gets old. You can get through it quite quickly as it isn't very long. Just a fantastic book that everyone should read

    • If you ever get a chance, go to youtube and look up the animal farm vid. Someone took that Hallmark special and merged it with Pink Floyd's "Animals". Very cool.

      George Orwell wrote this fable about farm animals that realize how terrible the humans treat them. The animals fought the humans, pushing the people out of their farm to create an entirely new society from the humans. Once the humans are out, the animals make laws that were built to completely set them apart from the people.

    • When allegory gets this heavy-handed, you have to wonder if fiction really served the author's purposes best.

Book Description

George Orwell's Animal Farm is still a widely read satire of Stalinism. The novel, which was rejected several times before its publication in 1945, is the focus of Bloom's Notes. Along with a collection of some of the best criticism available on his work, this text includes a brief biography of the author, structural and thematic analysis, an index of themes and ideas, and more. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School. These texts are the ideal aid for all students of literature, presenting concise, easy-to-understand biographical, critical, and bibliographical information on a specific literary work. Also provided are multiple sources for book reports and term papers with a wealth of information on literary works, authors, and major characters.
