But one day the animals have had enough of being oppressed and abused as human slaves. The setting is a “normal” farm, controlled and managed by humans. And Natalie’s great review was so on-point that I figured, Why invent the wheel? I asked Natalie’s permission to share her review here, and she graciously agreed.Īnimal Farm (1945) is an allegorical satire by George Orwell (himself a Socialist) which he wrote to criticize and expose the problems with Communism under the Soviet Union’s totalitarian leader, Joseph Stalin. Now there have only been a couple of times that I have posted or reblogged a review that I did not write myself. After reading a review of Animal Farm by a fellow Goodreads member, Natalie Vellacott, I realized that it was a novel that I should add to my list of recommended fiction. If you haven’t already checked it out, you can see my current list of fiction I believe every Christian should read, which I continue to add to as titles come to mind or are brought to my attention. I find the most worthwhile fictional works were published before the 20th century, and certainly before about 1950. However, I do feel there is merit to reading good fiction, which unfortunately is becoming more difficult to come by in this day and age.
Animal Farm by George Orwell “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”Īlthough I enjoy reading fiction and read a fair amount of it (I earned my degree in English, after all), I recommend more non-fiction here on my site because for the most part, non-fiction tends to be more profitable to the mind and soul.
