Man beraubt sie der Früchte ihrer Arbeit, sperrt sie ein, beutet sie aus. Die Tiere auf dem Gutshof haben genug und proben den Aufstand – für eine bessere Welt, in der alle Tiere gleich und frei sind. Doch bald zeigt sich: Gleich heißt nicht gleich, und Freiheit ist ein kurzer Traum … George Orwells berühmte Allegorie über den Aufstand der Tiere ist bis heute der vielleicht klarste literarische Weckruf vor dem korrumpierenden Effekt von Macht. Wie schnell sich unsere Visionen von einer besseren Welt in einen totalitären Albtraum verwandeln können, das ist die zeitlose Warnung dieser Fabel.

🌟 I love Orwell's writing for the powerful simplicity of his style. Every sentence moves the story forward. I especially appreciated how he wrote about animals expressing emotion. I re-read this for book club in a few short sittings in early 2026. 🐷 Poor Snowball. 🐑 The way the incessant bleating of the sheep prevented any further discussion was an interesting and effective detail. 🎮 TIL there's video game adaptation created in conjunction with Orwell's estate. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nerial.animalfarm&hl=en_US
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.
I love George Orwell. This is a beautiful allegory of communism through the eyes of a mid-twentieth century writer. It's not hard to see parallels to our current political situation.
This book gives a lot of thought about the current time, but has done so in previous years. The key takeaway is to take care of yourself, your rights and to stand up for what you believe is right.
A great insightful and easy read.
This tale highlights how an idealistic revolution can turn to a dystopia worse than the oppresion from before. There are many parellels to the story of the Soviet Union which makes it especially interesting for history nerds.
Well, power corrupts, and leaders are all evil. Short at least, and will stick with you. Would liked to have seen Snowball have a final say
