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...
