Viac o knihe

"Animal Farm" is the most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories. Its account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind, can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message. Taking as his starting point the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that, in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the possible consequences of our social and political acts.

Sice jsem ji již četl před rokem 1980, ale to byl svazek listů sítotisku a s nepřesným překladem. Proto velmi oceňuji tuto knihu v současné podobě a v tomto případě i za slušnou cenu.

Poučná alegorie, kterou je velmi dobré znát. Ukazuje kam až se mohou lidé dostat při ztrátě kritického myšlení. Proto ani dnes ani jindy netrácejme zdravý rozum a vlastní úsudek.
