Animal Farm

So out of the many of the common "literary works" you read in American public schools I think this one really holds up and pretty easy to understand. Though haphazardly applied to many situations I still think it teaches a decent lesson that most benefit from. Even if you don't get the far from subtle message it is still a entertaining story. I liked the horse

Es una fábula corta pero inmensamente poderosa sobre cómo los ideales de libertad e igualdad pueden ser traicionados por el poder. Con una sencillez que engancha, George Orwell crea una historia inolvidable que te hará reflexionar mucho después de haberla terminado.

Eine spannende und erschreckende Fabel über Machtmissbrauch von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Genau wie bei der "Herr der Fliegen" frage ich mich bei diesem Buch wieso wir ihn damals (long time ago) nicht im Schulunterreicht behandelt haben

My librarian told me that this us bit necessarily an anti communist book but rather an anti corruption book, so I did not look at it from a political perspective. Animal Farm is a fun book to read if you want to have a fun intro to George Orwell and his books. It's easy, there's some dark elements, and it's nice for a quick shift in style. It's not my book style personally (I like stuff like Firebreak), but I feel like it is unfair to compare a grand classic to a fairly insignificant modern dystopian novel. It's a fun book to read if you want a fun and dark weekend read that is also a classic book.
