Animal Farm is the most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories. Its account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind, can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message.
Taking as his starting point the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that, in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the possible consequences of our social and political acts.

评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...
