GEORGE ORWELL (1903-1950) was born in India and served with the Imperial Police in Burma before joining the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell was the author of six novels as well as numerous essays and nonfiction works.
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2006年3月23日 读书笔记《动物庄园》 奥威尔你估量的事情,基本都没有说错。但总有一些小小的意外,你没有猜到,也就没办法言说。在主人房的窗沿底下,动物们窥见猪头拿破伦,变化出一张人类的脸孔,他们之后的反应,书里就没了下文,这让我联想纷纷,不知所措。 我所遭遇的...
