'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
(凡动物一律平等, 但有些动物比其它动物更加平等).
看到这句话,是不是有些啼笑皆非的感觉? 没错,George.Orwell的这本薄薄的政治寓言小说,正如Swift的<格列佛游记>一般,尖锐深刻却又带着黑色幽默式的讽刺本部小说所针对的对象.

Animal Farm
Animal Farm is easily the most famous work of political allegory ever written. The animals take over the running of a farm, and everything is wonderful for a while — until the pigs get out of hand. It is a brilliant description of what happens when t ... (read full critics)

In this fairy story, as the author has defined it, like Aesop, Kipling, London, Orwell make the animals think and speak and behave like humans are used to do.

Soon, different classes form (pigs, dogs, the rest) and the farm takes on a communist flavour. From here on, Orwell takes the reader on a complete transition of ... (continue)

A masterpiece.
Great book, Orwell perfectly manages to still be actual 60 years from now.
Apparently, we are given a comical fairy tale, but peering in the dephts of it, we can see not only a sophisticated and brave critic to the Russian situation, but to every actual government.

mai letto prima MAI
ma io dico, in 5 anni di linguistico mi hanno fatto leggere i peggio libri, le cose più noiose dell'universo, libri da 400/500 pagine impossibili da finire, troppo difficili per il nostro misero inglese...

Devo sempre fare tutto da sola... se non ci penso io...

I really like this book, because makes you thing a bit about the structure of the world. About how we accept everything without saying anything. About how a democracy can pass to be a tirany without us noticing.

I love this book, one of the greatest classics of all time.
Orwell had an extraordinary ability to make the perfect parody of the politic totalitarianism.
At first, I was like "Stupid animals, why don't they realize how corrupted their sistem is" but then I looked at real life and "Oh wait...!"gatto nero said on Jan 9, 2012 about the Paperback edition | Add your feedback
