Animal Farm-动物农场

作者：Orwell George

书名：Animal Farm《动物农场》

中文简介：Animal Farm《动物农场》是Orwell George的寓言小说，于1945年8月17日首次在英国出版。根据奥威尔的说法，这个寓言反映了1917年俄国革命然后进入斯大林时代的事件。奥威尔是一个民主的社会主义者，是约瑟夫斯大林的批评者，对莫斯科的斯大林主义持敌对态度。他认为，苏联已经成为一个残酷的独裁统治，建立在人格崇拜的基础上，并由恐怖统治强制执行。

英文简介:A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned –a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. 
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
