"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."
