Oh, the Anguish!George Orwell’s, Animal Farm, is the book that I have just read, so I will review only this book.Mr. Jones is a terrible person. His farming skills leave much to be desired. He is the owner of Manor Farm, where his animals are overworked and underfed. They become fed up with his behavior and chase him away from the farm. They feel that they couldn’t do any worse.The pigs have taken charge of everything and they have the dogs as their guards. The other animals are all flabbergaste...

This is my second reading for George after his amazing book 1984. In Animal Farm the author used the animal model to describe what happens in real-world totalitarianism regimes. Yet, this novel goes beyond addressing the Russian Revolution, it speaks to all revolts there have been and will ever be. It suggests an uprising is futile, that things will remain how they have always been neither getting better nor worse. All simply remains constant. After finished this novel, I cannot wait to read the...

Doua romane clasice. Exista unele romane care vor ramane intodeauna de actualitate.

Animal FarmMuch like 1984, Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Animal Farm is disquietingly morose and prophetic. In fact, if you substitute Hillary for "Snowball" and Donald for "Napoleon," it reads like the Daily News.Update 24 Jan 2021: when I wrote this years ago I was unaware how injurious it might be to compare the actions of a sitting American president to those of an Orwellian pig. Now, after four years of president Donald J Trump, I feel I owe an apology—to the Orwellian pig._______________...

University of Northampton have issued a trigger warning for Orwell's novel on the grounds that it contains 'explicit material' which some students may find 'offensive and upsetting'.

2020-09-22 (This review is of 1984 only, at least for now.)"the three slogans of the Party stood out in bold capitals: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."This is the defining import of this book to me. The slogans were not only repeated many times in the book, but what they represented was carefully explained many times and ways. Orwell's masterpiece did a fantastic job of showing how corruption of the language (in "Newspeak" words were supposed to mean the exact opposite of ...

Two of my favorites books of all the time.

За "1984"Отдавна не съм давала 5 звезди на чисто художествена литература, но книгата е прекрасна. Започнах я с доза скептицизъм, тъй като очаквах да не ми хареса, точно защото е хвалена отвсякъде, а аз съм се научила да имам едно наум за такива книги. Каква беше моята изненада, когато установих, че книгата е умна,с кратки изречения,носещи максимален ефект и гениален подбор на думи. Думите, те правят красотата на тази книга. Авторът ги използва като инструменти, като една дума на едно място може ...

I read Animal Farm once a decade. It is a quick read that constantly reminds me that I need to keep the blinders off and not take everything for granted.

I have a strange desire for bacon for some reason.

These are Orwell's most famous books. Both are dystopian tales of the dangers of a totalitarian government.Similarities between the books:• The government's assertion that it knows best.• The intelligentsia seize power.• The naive proletariat are oppressed and kept ignorant.• The government bends or breaks its own rules for its benefit.• The government uses propaganda to keep the proletariat in check.• The government rewrites history to prove that it's correct and that life is better with the go...
