About this audiobook
George Orwell
George Orwell (1903–1950), the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, was an English novelist, essayist, and critic. He was born in India and educated at Eton. After service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living by writing. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of 1984 (1949), which brought him worldwide fame.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A must read! Orwell proves his thesis that absolute power corrupts absolutely in this satire of the Bolshevik Revolution and Stalin's consequent rule. This book is able to be understook by both teenagers and adults, albeit on different planes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When I first read this book years ago for my high school English class, I just thought it was just a book about animals with some sort of moral to it. Now that I know a little more about history and how this book portrays Russia, communism, and some of the people who played important roles in Russian history, such as Stalin and Trotsky, it not only makes more sense, but I find it so much more interesting. One aspect of the story that I find especially interesting is how the pigs change the rules for their own benefit. They then receive more food and also gain more power. For the most part the animals, and especially the sheep, just follow along with whatever the pigs say. They do not question authority or the false statistics which are being given to them. They are either too stupid or too frightened to question authority and therefore have no chance of bettering their own lives. When reading this book, I highly recommend you find a study guide that helps you put the story into context. It helps you enjoy the story in a whole new light and you are able to understand what Orwell was really trying to express when he wrote it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Muy amena para cultivar y acrecentar el conocimiento me parece muy útil
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A nice little story that makes pretty accessible to a majority of readers the hazards of illiteracy and how ruthless seekers of power can (and will) take advantage of their control of information to exploit the ignorant.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Power corrupts the pigs. When it becomes one pig who rules them all, there will be bacon to pay...
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I found this to be very thought-provoking as well as sad. It was interesting how the society of animals started out with the socialist ideals only to evolve into communism and then it to a totalitarian tyranny. It was sad that virtue did not triumph - you were only rewarded for treachery and scheming.
A good read - I recommend it. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very interesting sociological treatment of the human study.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found this frightening in comparison to 1984. the characterization and their social structure is quite remarkable. It is excellent and short so as not to get bogged down with too many details.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is timeless, and it fits so very many situations in so very many parts of the world and through so very many time periods, it's kind of amazing. And oh so true. But everyone knows about it and there's really nothing new to say here, so I'll simply say - it's wonderful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Given the current focus on North Korea, this is an ideal book for most teens to read. When it seems unthinkable that an entire country can function lock-step in the whims of its leader, this book is an approachable read of that same situation that has happened over and over in history. Fear is a powerful motivator. I wish this book didn't strike potential teen readers as more of a "school assignment" type book. It is absolutely worth a read. I listened on audio, and enjoyed it, but the version I had began with a tedious lecture about Orwell that should be skipped by almost everyone.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5es una buena crítica sobre los sistemas políticos socialistas, en los cuales se nombra a un grupo como el enemigo de la sociedad (judíos, burgueses, extranjeros y en este caso los humanos); para unir al pueblo, lo cual al principio tiene éxito y al final la avaricia y sed de poder vuelven a generar las divisiones pero ahora con una tiranía mayor en el poder .
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Classic, must read!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fabuloso! Ligero, sencillo, audaz, revelador, atemporal pues el retrato de la sociedad sigue teniendo los mismos matices.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Orwell's tale of a worker's revolution gone wrong, where the "workers" are animals on Manor Farm is a classic so having never read it at school I thought I'd better round out my education. Originally written with communist Russia in mind but parallels can be found with numerous revolutions since where liberation from one set of leaders is eventually replaced by even greater tyranny. One thing that struck me was the way the sheep drowned out any discussion with mindless bleating. By the time they'd finished chanting their slogans everyone else had forgotten what they were going to say and with repetition the animals figured well it must be right then. Even in a democracy it is common for debate to descend into slander, mindless repetition of slogans and sound bites so that no one really listens to anyone else and people with an opinion that goes against the accepted line are dismissed and given derogatory labels.I'm glad I finally got round to reading this.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Look, I cried when Boxer got sent to the knacker's yard, OK.What is it about Animal Farm that makes it so popular in the United States? I would even suggest it's not quite so celebrated here in the UK. Ah! it is because it is an allegory against communism! Now, whisper it my friends, but George Orwell was a socialist! Animal Farm is actually speaking out against totalitarianism and Stalinism. He fought in the Spanish Civil War and it was the most informative experience of his life. The thing about Orwell is his continued questioning of his own views. He was literary editor at the left wing Tribune but also respected by right wing figures. The simple clarity and power of Animal Farm is what makes it a classic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5¡Increíble la capacidad del autor de predecir lo que iba a pasar en los países donde el socialismo fuera implementado!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of those books one almost doesn't have to read because it has been referred to, discussed or redone in so many cultural products afterwards, Animal Farm deserves its status as visionary classic.But even while obvious allegory is obvious, it is also a really good book and a pleasure to read beyond the subject matter.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5What can I say? It's a classic. It's an interesting read with some particularly chilling parallels to today's world.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this when I was eleven and my brother brought a copy home from school. I took it at face value as a story about some talking animals and really enjoyed it. Further readings have made me appreciate what it's really trying to say but I still enjoy it. I don't like to give too much away about the story and its meanings but this is a very readable book, well thought out and it makes it's point.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5From bad to worse to downright ugly. This book was craaaazy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a Classic Must Read. Excellent book which will never go out of style not only for it's creative writing, but unfortunately, for the inhumanities which will also continue somewhere around the world till the end of time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5El libro revela una verdad que muchos pasamos de alto al confiar ciegamente en la gente encargada de gobernarnos
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Es toda una realidad, libro impresionante con muchos detalles, lo recomiendo.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've read Animal Farm in high school, I liked it then but the meaning was kind of lost because we didn't even learn about the Cold War, Russia or Stalin. Old Major (Karl Marx) gives a speech that inspires the animals to rebel against the owner of their farm and to take care of it themselves. The farm does very well at first, they come up with rules they will follow with the pigs, mostly Napoleon (Stalin) and Snowball (Trotsky) taking the lead and organizing. The animals are happy to work for the greater good of the farm and all are treated well with food and respect. Time goes on and Snowball and Napoleon cannot agree on anything. Napoleon chases Snowball off with his gang of dogs and becomes the only leader. He takes credit for ideas Snowball came up with and blames him for anything that goes wrong. Over time the pigs alter the rules and are being treated better than the rest of the animals, despite them not doing any work while the rest work hard. The animals think their life is still better now than what it was with Mr Jones and don't want him to come back. Years past and the pigs alter the biggest rule, 2 legs bad, 4 legs good, the pigs walk on two legs and the animals can no longer tell the pigs and humans apart.
I definitely liked reading this more the 2nd time because I could understand it more and how it related to what was going on in the Soviet Union. Its amazing that a book like this even existed back then. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excelente, poder disfrutar de este clasico de manera tan amigable
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was actually a depressing novel. It seems a little extravagant, but I have to remind myself that the book was written just after the Second World War ended and that really puts it into perspective. For me, the book is about the way power corrupts and how power and propaganda can be used to lead citizens into actions they would not have volunteered for under normal circumstances, basically brainwashing for an intended effect. This has been seen in history over and over again. The problem really, is education. Not enough people are educated or educated well. And another problem is that many people define equality differently. It’s an interesting book. And also very very popular. In that regard, I am glad I finally got to reading it.
