Rebelión en la granja

Por George Orwell

Uno de los alegatos más potentes contra el totalitarismo de cualquier especie.

Cansados de sufrir abusos, los animales de la granja de los Jones deciden rebelarse contra sus amos. Tras echar al propietario, establecen un nuevo orden basado en la igualdad. Sin embargo, pronto surge entre ellos una nueva clase de burócratas, los cerdos, que, con astucia, codicia y prepotencia se imponen sobre el resto de animales.

Concebida como una sátira mordaz del estalinismo, el carácter universal de su mensaje convierte esta novela en un extraordinario análisis de la corrupción que engendra el poder, una furibunda diatriba contra los totalitarismos y un lúcido examen de las manipulaciones que sufre la verdad histórica en los momentos de transformación política.

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.

Although it may have its benefits in critisizing communism, I did not enjoy reading this book. It made me have an ugly feeling, a feeling of hatred for those communist brutes (the pigs) and great pity for the other animals toiling under the unjust, unfair communists. I would not like this book at ALL if it wasn't for the fact that it really does capture what communism really is.It helps people realize that those who live in communist countries really aren't bad, they're caught.

a brillant book of how the pigs take over and dominate the other animals becoming as human as the humans. a story of how good socialist idears can be exploited dumming down the majority shifting from socialism to hard line iron fist communism. how snowball was blaimed for the faults of others distracting the anaimals with properganda from napolean and his elite with the only ones that can read able to free themselves from the cloaked dictatorship
