Backcovertext:
In his story of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, àd quality, George Orwell gave us one of the most scathing satiric fables ever written. As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, Animal Farm is a parable about would-be liberators everywhere. As we witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals through the lens of our own history, we see the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organizations; and in our most charismatic leaders, the souls of our cruelest oppressors.

I didn't like 1984 and prefer Animal Farm for its brevity, the more humane aspects and the perspective from which it is written. This seems to be one of the books that even if times change, it can stay 'fresh'.

Journal Entry 4 by Harobed82 at Pornichet, Pays de la Loire France on Saturday, March 11, 2017
Une fiction qui semble bien réelle par certains aspects.
George Orwell montre ici que même que certains veulent toujours obtenir le pouvoir, par n'importe quel moyen.

***

A fiction that seems very real in certain aspects.
George Orwell shows here that some "people" always want to get the power, by any means.
