George Orwell

Digital Fire

The novel was chosen by TIME Magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present. Although, it almost remained unpublished due to its savage attack on Stalin, Britain’s then ally and got turned down by publisher after publisher, today it’s known to be one of Orwell’s best works and a world-famous classic. The animals on Mr. Jones' farm revolt against their human masters and violently expel them. Led by the pigs they decide to run the farm themselves on egalitarian principles. In Course of time the pigs themselves become corrupted by power and a new tyranny is established under their leader Napoleon. Cast in the form of a satirical fable directed primarily against Stalin's Russia, Animal Farm by George Orwell tells us how power game can become the quintessential story of greed, corruption, betrayal and ruination.

Animal Farm

Humanity and the greed of men makes me sick. Our lack of respect for other species on this planet and even for our own is disgusting.

Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever. “Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.

It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.

Inês Lemos S.

Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.

But they were conscious that they were not as other animals. If they went hungry, it was not from feeding tyrannical human beings; if they worked hard, at least they worked for themselves. No creature among them went upon two legs. No creature called any other creature “Master”. All animals were equal.

It was as though the world has turned upside-down.
