George Orwell (1903-1950) was a great British humanitarian writer, journalist and social critic, and a famous English stylist. "Animal Farm" is one of Orwell's outstanding works. It is a dystopian political allegory that penetrates the heart. A group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving their exploitative human masters out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders, those smart pigs, eventually usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more authoritarian and totalitarian rulers than their human counterparts. "If one more person watches Orwell, there will be an additional guarantee of freedom," one commentator said.
Reader comments
This book is so wonderful! The author Orwell satirizes reality through animal stories, which is really imaginative! Moreover, the characters have distinct personalities, such as Napoleon's tyranny, Snowball's liveliness and wit, and Squealer's eloquence, all of which impressed me deeply. I feel like the author has such a profound insight into human nature and society! I really like this book and recommend you read it too!
