Animal Farm - Synopsis


"True modern classic, designed by one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, "Animal Farm" is a fable about the power. Chronicles the uprising of the animals from a farm against their owners. Gradually, however, the revolution degenerates into a tyranny even more oppressive than humans Writing the Second World War and published in 1945 after being rejected by several publishers, this little narrative discomfort caused by viciously satirize the Stalinist dictatorship at a time the Soviets were still allies of the West in the fight against nazifascista axis. Indeed, the references are clear: the despotic Napoleon would Stalin banned the Ball Jack Frost would Trotsky, and political events - purges, institution of a police state, tendentious misrepresentation of history - mimic those that were ongoing in the EU Soviet. With the intensification of the Cold War, the same reasons that caused embarrassment at the time of its publication led the revolution of the animals to be widely used by the West in the following decades as an ideological weapon against communism. Orwell himself a supporter of socialism and enemy of any form of political manipulation, felt uncomfortable with the use of a fable as a pamphlet."
