Escrito por George Orwell

Narrado por Antonio Delli

FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar el audiolibro Rebelión en la Granja de George Orwell.
Un rotundo alegato a favor de la libertad y en contra del totalitarismo que se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura del siglo XX.
Esta sátira de la Revolución rusa y el triunfo del estalinismo, escrita en 1945, se ha convertido por derecho propio en un hito de la cultura contemporánea y en uno de los libros más mordaces de todos los tiempos. Ante el auge de los animales de la Granja Solariega, pronto detectamos las semillas de totalitarismo en una organización aparentemente ideal; y en nuestros líderes más carismáticos, la sombra de los opresores más crueles.

George Orwell

George Orwell (1903–1950), the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, was an English novelist, essayist, and critic. He was born in India and educated at Eton. After service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living by writing. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of 1984 (1949), which brought him worldwide fame.

Estuvo perrona la parte de "todos los animales son iguales, pero hay animales más iguales que otros"

Me atrapó desde el primer minuto. Excelente audio libro. Y la enseñanza que hay detrás es mejor aún.

A chilling tale of a farm where the animals rebel. With the humans driven out, finally there will be plenty for all. As time goes by, the pigs prove to be more and more influential. One by one, the seven commandments of the revolution are updated to favor the pigs. Finally, the pigs becomes so much like the former oppressors as to be indistinguishable from humans.The part of the story here the pigs begin walking on two legs is just... nightmare fuel.

Una historia que resulta muy interesante desde el prólogo al fin. La narración que la acompaña la hace más entretenida y logra que haya una conexión del oyente con la trama. Es un audio libro que definitivamente volvería a escuchar .

Ah, Animal Farm. According to the copy I had, this book was published during August of 1945, when US dropped the bombs on Hiroshima. It was written during WWII and reflects some of the Russian attitudes during that time. I feel that this is an important book to read, although perhaps not in conjunction with Orwell's other dystopian book, 1984.

"All animals are equal; some animals are more equal than others." Sadly, some of this sentiment rings true today. In a world stratified by class, the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. In a way, this book reminded me also of Lord of the Flies. A pre-existing government is overthrown in name of what everyone at first believes might be the best possible ruling, only for things to head steadily downhill.

Is Animal Farm an important book? Yes, I believe so. It still has themes that hold true today. Is it antiquated? Uh...without being familiar with the Communist regime and its practices...yeah...maybe a little. A student reading this would be better suited with background knowledge than to head into it cold turkey.

It was a good book, but it wasn't amazing. I'm not sure, had I been one of those people in charge of proclaiming "classics", whether I would have put it there. There are universal truths in a lot of books, not necessarily the oldest.

Tenía ganas de escuchar este libro desde hacía mucho tiempo. Cumplió mis expectativas. Buena narrativa, la historia me mantuvo en la escucha todo el tiempo con la intriga de que iba pasando. Bastante recomendable.

Orwell's tale of a worker's revolution gone wrong, where the "workers" are animals on Manor Farm is a classic so having never read it at school I thought I'd better round out my education. Originally written with communist Russia in mind but parallels can be found with numerous revolutions since where liberation from one set of leaders is eventually replaced by even greater tyranny. One thing that struck me was the way the sheep drowned out any discussion with mindless bleating. By the time they'd finished chanting their slogans everyone else had forgotten what they were going to say and with repetition the animals figured well it must be right then. Even in a democracy it is common for debate to descend into slander, mindless repetition of slogans and sound bites so that no one really listens to anyone else and people with an opinion that goes against the accepted line are dismissed and given derogatory labels.I'm glad I finally got round to reading this.

Plasma la cruda realidad de una manera satírica, pero cierta. :'(

[bhabeck-1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

I found this to be very thought-provoking as well as sad. It was interesting how the society of animals started out with the socialist ideals only to evolve into communism and then it to a totalitarian tyranny. It was sad that virtue did not triumph - you were only rewarded for treachery and scheming.

A good read - I recommend it.

[Alexis Torres · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Recién he empezado a escuchar audiolibros y el autor George Orwell hace tiempo que ha Sido alguien a quien admiro por sus mundos distopicos, sin duda alguna la rebelión en la granja, es una gran obra, sin mencionar que el prefacio parece ser un borrador de su obra 1984. Sin más que decir. Un gran libro.

Never have I felt so passionately about farm animals.

[Renato Marín Bautista · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Una rata en contra de la igualdad es lo que era George Orwell , bien por la libertad de expresión pero planteó este trabajo para ponerlo fácil al intervencionismo americano de la pos guerra

[funstm · Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas]

I read it. It's a classic. I just didn't like it. I don't like when animals talk. It's creepy. 1.5 stars.

[dinadansfriend · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

A short and brutal book, demonstrating the corruption of power over others. The Farmer disappears, and the effect on all the other animals shows no difference in the new management by the pigs.

[e_morgan_huhn · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Another excellent book that I am glad I revisited. I read this while in El Salvador in 2023. As a work of literature, the book provides an excellent character study into the hierarchies and struggle for power that emerge in societies (particularly newly forming or revolutionary societies). As a piece of history, this book provides an amazing mirror on the rise to power of Stalin and totalitarianism in the Soviet Union - though, given the contemporaneous publication I would be surprised if Orwell was that keenly aware of what was going on in the USSR. Overall, this provides an excellent lens through which to study capitalism, revolution, communism, and the way power corrupts and decays the messages so often relied upon by leaders. After rereading Animal Farm, one can only be sickened by the "promise" of politicians in the creation of a better future.

Having not read this book during my school years, I figured it was about time to read it and see what all the fuss was about. However, I was greatly disappointed in the book. I fail to understand why it is talked about so highly and considered a classic that everyone must read. Fortunately, the book is very short, only about 90 pages and can be read rather quickly.I am certain most everyone knows the gist of the story. A group of farm animals rebel against the farmer and attempt to create their own society where everyone is equal, happy, and free. Of course, all does not go well, and in the end, the society created is more like life was before the rebellion. The more things change, the more they stay the same, right?Orwell claims he wrote the book as a commentary on socialism and communism, but I found the parallels to religion more obvious. The animals held a meeting every Sunday. A raven named Moses claimed there was a rest and a better life to await after death. The story has a traitor named Snowball (Judas Iscariot), and a charismatic leader in Napoleon (Jesus Christ). The animals were intent on building a windmill and since it was destroyed twice, it had to be rebuilt (Tower of Babel). There were 7 commandments written on the side of a barn (Ten Commandments), which were constantly being revised and rewritten.Overall, the book was boring and a drudgery to read. I’m not for sure why so many people feel it is a great book.

I can't believe it took me this long to read this classic.

PAP II, Spring 2018:

Did a short read/listen through this one again for teaching it to the sophomores the end of this year. I still find it brief and insightful about politics, but little of interest outside of that. I am pleased to see my kids enjoying the last few chapters as the crazy ramps up though.

[kslade-1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Good allegory about rise of Communism in Russia, but I read it so long ago I don't remember much.

[lvstrongpuff · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

This book as been on my TBR since 2010 when I first joined Goodreads. I was always nervous to read it, but it really is a great book. There are so many levels of thought to it. Throughout the book I thought about what is going on in the United States with media (social and news) and how much the world is like this book. It is a scary thing. Very scary.,

[sean191 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I re-read this to prep for a unit I'm teaching in my English class on disinformation and propaganda. I think it resonates even more today than it did when I first read it. Brilliant satire and depressingly close to reality.

[sriddell_8 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Such a classic, there's really no surprises left in the plot. But still, an interesting book to read during the heat of a crazy political season.

The audio version I listened to was narrated by Ralph Cosham. Wonderful narrator - he sang the "Beasts of England" anthem the animals take up, and he did a passable "sheep" voice for their endless chant of "4 legs good, 2 legs bad".

Certainly a good reminder that power corrupts, and reinforced my own thoughts that ALL politicians are corrupt - even when they start with the best intentions.

[hipney · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

A quick read.
Wasn't the amazing book I thought it would be. Have also just read 1984, so they are similar.



The saddest part was there wasn't any protest from the animals, but that reflects our society still. We just do what we are told as that is easiest.

[booklove2 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I might be the last bookish person that hasn't read this yet. I thought it was time. On that note, what more can my dim mind say about this classic that hasn't been said before? Between this book and '1984', Orwell had a unique mind.*Book #127 I have read of the '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die'

[caanderson-1 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

So relevant today as it was when it was first written.

[morcys · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Spectacular

[kevn57-163679 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

As relevant as 1984 in the current political climate. How easy it is to control people through lies and fear.

[mbmackay · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I first read this in my early teens in the 1960s. Sadly, I didn't have the background knowledge at that time to appreciate the satire.Re-reading it now, with the necessary historical background in place, has neen a great pleasure. Orwell makes sharp points with humour and gentle prose. What a standout book of the 20th century!

[akbouterse · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I knew a lot about this book going in. I knew famous quotes, the characters, what it was referencing, and basically the entire plot. For some books, this would completely ruin the point of actually reading the book but so much of the excellence of this story comes from how effectively it was told.

I read 1984 when I was in 7th grade and I remember not really enjoying it. It's something I should probably revisit before passing any final judgements but it did make me hesitant to pick this one up. This one is not that different in style or theme in many ways but was different enough in the overall plot to allow me to enjoy it a lot more. I was somewhat familiar with the actual events of Russian revolution but I don't think you really need to know that much to appreciate the themes in this book. Orwell does an excellent job making apparent the parallels that are being drawn but even if you don't get any of them, I think the overall tone of the story would still be impactful.

This is a classic that has been on my bookshelf for a while that I'm so glad I read and while I recognize this book won't be for everyone, it is a book I would recommend.

[nosborm · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

A classic book I've finally read. Although it reads like anti communist propaganda it conveys its message well and even had me rooting for the characters. Shorter and lighter than I expected which might explain why it's so popular in schools.
