La Fattoria degli Animali George Orwell
"This is the message I have to give you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when this Rebellion will come, it may be in a week, it may be in a hundred years, but I know, with the same confidence with which I see the straw that mixed under the feet, that sooner or later justice will be done. "
- Plot La Fattoria degli Animali George Orwell
Integral Edition
With "Animal Farm" Orwell intended to show the "betrayal of the Bolshevik revolution". Its transformation first into a dictatorship and then into a totalitarian regime such as to annihilate all individual freedom.
To this end, he chose the form of the fable, with talking and thinking animals living together with human beings. The fable has in itself a universality and a moral value that give the Russian revolution a more general value, an applicability to other revolutions, inserting it in the discourse of pessimism on the possibility of building an authentic and lasting democracy.
English writer. Born in Bengal, he completed his studies in Eton. Returning to India in 1922, he remained there for five years in the service of the Indian Imperial Police in Burma. This stay gave rise to his first novel, Days in Burma. Violently opposed to Stalinist methods, he wrote a brilliant and painful satire of Russian communism in Animal farm (1945). Finally, taking his aversion to any kind of totalitarianism to the extreme, he published 1984. A dystopian who carries a futuristic image, as terrifying as it is plausible, of world society.
Orwell also left original essays on literary criticism and sociology topics.
