One Of The Most Incisive Critiques Ever Written | Animal Farm (George Orwell)

from Mere Mortals Book Reviews · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

All men are enemies, all animals are comrades.'Animal Farm' by George Orwell is an allegorical satire criticising the USSR regime & Joseph Stalin. A group of talking animals led by the pigs revolt against the human farmers. They attempt to create a paradise called Animal Farm through their ideology of Animalism but this has disastrous consequences for the general animal society.I summarised the book as follows. "If I was a writer this would want to make me give up. It's so tight with it's words and it feel like every sentence has a purpose. If you study deeper this book can give you an education on 30 different things. Orwell was an observer of people, of systems and of truth. One of the only 'political' books I care about, can't rave enough about this!"I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
