"Esta sátira de la Revolución Rusa y el triunfo del estalinismo, escrita en 1945, se ha convertido por derecho propio en un hito de la cultura contemporánea y en uno de los libros más mordaces de todos los tiempos. Ante el auge de los animales de la Granja Solariega, pronto detectamos las semillas del totalitarismo en una organización aparentemente ideal; y en nuestros líderes más carismáticos, la sombra de los opresores más crueles."--Amazon.

Some animals are more equal than others...
5 stars
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.

An easy classic you can read on a weekend
4 stars
My librarian told me that this us bit necessarily an anti communist book but rather an anti corruption book, so I did not look at it from a political perspective. Animal Farm is a fun book to read if you want to have a fun intro to George Orwell and his books. It's easy, there's some dark elements, and it's nice for a quick shift in style. It's not my book style personally (I like stuff like Firebreak), but I feel like it is unfair to compare a grand classic to a fairly insignificant modern dystopian novel. It's a fun book to read if you want a fun and dark weekend read that is also a classic book.

Another classic by Orwell
5 stars
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.

Excelente analogía del comunismo.
5 stars
Una de las mejores analogías que he leído y en este caso, Orwell expone la cruda realidad del comunismo representada en los animales de la granja, donde los cerdos son los líderes del nuevo gobierno (nada mejor representado con los cerdos) y sus víctimas, los animales según el carácter de cada uno de ellos. Un libro recomendado.
