Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist and essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterised by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism.
Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell's fable of a workers' revolution gone wrong has rivaled Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea as the Shortest Serious Novel It's OK to Write a Book Report About. (The latter is three pages longer and less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals' Seven Commandment credo is painted in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, however, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, succumb to the temptations of privilege and power. "We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of the farm depend on us. Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it's a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having given his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell's view of Communism is bleak indeed, but given the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. --Joyce Thompson --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
这是我近年来读过的最觉得值得读的一本书。也是在知乎上的一个问题,你最相见恨晚的一本书,很多人提到了这本。 《动物庄园》写于1943年,但七十年过去了,书中的描述一样在天朝,在世界各国上演着~不能不说,这是一部伟大的著作。 动物们一起努力奋斗,打倒琼斯...
評分《动物农场》和《一九八四》所讲述的同是诸多我们习以为常的”规则“,不同的是它有”1984年“之前的”奋斗史“、”解放史“、”改造史“,而《1984》则是描述1984国的状态。两者结合在一起,才是完整的'我们"。 因为看的是电子书,摘抄变得非常容易。就摘录如下。 1.投票事件...
評分事实上我们不能称之为一个“童话”,至少从内容和受众上来看并不完全是。不动声色的叙述之下,实为一则政治寓言,或是预言。而作者在乌克兰版的序言中也提到:“有些情节取自俄国革命的真实历史••••••打破苏联神话是必要的••••••想用一个故...
評分对乔治.奥威尔的两部小说《1984》《动物庄园》仰慕已久,前一阵看完《1984》之后,回味良久,但一直没有接着看《动物庄园》,今天看douban上看到了网友的评论,又有空,所以就down了一本看,比《1984》短,只有10章,很快就看完了. 在刚开始看的时候,感觉似曾相识,突然想起大...
評分和想象中的终极恐怖的《一九八四》不同,乔治·奥威尔的成名作《动物农场》则要生动直接得多,是对当时现实,尤其是苏联的深刻反映和辛辣讽刺,可谓一部另类的苏联历史(革命到二战末期)。 这部只有六万字的小说,我们可以非常清晰的把其中的角色和故事与苏联的各阶级群体与历...
句句擊中要害!簡直可怕!
评分在返程的機上讀完最後三個chapters,印象最深的還是讀中文版時特意去看瞭原文的那句all animals are equal,but some animals are more equal than others;“四條腿好,兩條腿壞”的兩個“凡是”,之於我,很可樂。
