Dejaré algunas de mis frases favoritas, eso los hará entender mi calificación:

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which”

"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength"

"Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present, controls the past"

"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."

To be completely honest, i hated animal farm. I’ve read Orwell before, and it just wasn’t as good. It was confusing and messy and i didn’t like it. The metaphoric use was amazing and I can’t argue with that, but the way it was told made me angry and unhappy. I think, however, this is why Orwell was such a good writer. His work was loved and hated by many, and I think it all really depends on the reader. My older brother LOVED Animal Farm- he says it’s the best book he’s ever read, and hates on 1984, calling it boring and slow. I loved 1984, calling it one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. I think that the magic of Orwell lies in the readers opinions, so there will always different views on it

Ferma animalelor" este o nuvelă alegorică scrisă de George Orwell. Aceasta reprezintă o satiră la adresa comunismului din URSS.

Cartea “1984” de George Orwell este un roman distopic care prezintă o societate totalitară în care supravegherea și controlul absolut sunt normele cotidiene.
Libertatea de expresie, pur și simplu, nu mai există. Toate gândurile sunt minuțios supravegheate și " Fratele Mare" e cu ochii pe tine.
Libertatea înseamnă să poți spune că doi și cu doi fac patru”, scrie Winston la un moment dat in jurnalul său. Scopul Partidului este însă să te facă nu doar să spui că doi si cu doi fac cinci, dar mai important decat atât s-o crezi din tot sufletul. Mecanismele de tortura sunt atât de bine perfecționate, încât ele au ca rezultat nu doar schimbarea mentalității și a gândirii ci chiar a sufletului.

The introduction gave me the lens I needed to enjoy this book. It said it was a fairytale, and defined that specifically as a tale in which all the characters are amoral, and one which reveals an undeniable truth that you don’t like. I listened to the audiobook with this lens and because of that, enjoyed it immensely.
