(118 reviews)
Mr. Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organized to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges...

The propaganda of the modern day mirrors the propaganda of the old day in that it is still vicious and effective.

Pigs should be more public-spirited, I've heard.

I was never required to read this at any point, so I kind of... avoided reading it until I realised I probably should (which was around the time that I learned that TS Eliot rejected it because the pigs were too Trotskyite (and that they should be more public-spirited).
It was quite enjoyable, but it's so easy to see exactly where it developed from. It definitely is incredibly well-crafted, but I don't think it's meant for those who've not had much of an education in WWII and Stalin. For those people, it'd be confusing to not really have the background necessary; this is often the problem that I have with some of the literature teachers I've met who toss it in their syllabus (and then forget they need to discuss these elements in order for their students to appropriately understand it, as if the history can be neglected -- these …

1984 ile aynı şeyi işliyor aslında. Bu kitap herkesin okuyabileceği basitlikte, 1984 belki biraz sıkıcı ama konu orada biraz daha detaylıca işlenmiş. İkisini de şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.

Such a deep, dark look at politics, revolutions, and life. I didn't expect it to be so emotional or depressing and put off reading it for years (never read or studied it in highschool, either), but I'm glad I've read it now.

Another great Orwell book. As 1984 the story is quite sad.
The funny fact is that the book can be easily mapped to soviet's history or today's states.
It's sad to see how much we gave up on liberty ideals.

‘Animal Farm’ is truly an interesting story; we all know what the story represents but George Orwell portrayed communists Russia in World War II really well. The book was short and I was able to read it in one day, almost in one sitting. I think we could spend a long time discussing which animal represents which Russian and working out which battle was The Battle of the Cowshed or The Battle of the Windmill. I did especially enjoy the flag (The Horn and Hoof Flag reminiscent of the hammer and sickle), Squealer (propaganda pig) and Moses the Raven (the Russian Orthodox Church). It is definitely one of those books you need to read at least once in your lifetime. I think I enjoyed it more than ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’.
