Η φάρμα των ζώων

🌟 I love Orwell's writing for the powerful simplicity of his style. Every sentence moves the story forward. I especially appreciated how he wrote about animals expressing emotion. I re-read this for book club in a few short sittings in early 2026. 🐷 Poor Snowball. 🐑 The way the incessant bleating of the sheep prevented any further discussion was an interesting and effective detail. 🎮 TIL there's video game adaptation created in conjunction with Orwell's estate. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nerial.animalfarm&hl=en_US

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.

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.

Well, power corrupts, and leaders are all evil. Short at least, and will stick with you. Would liked to have seen Snowball have a final say
