Book Review. "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

"Animal Farm" is my second book by George Orwell. He is a fascinating author of dystopias being able to show them from the one side very satirically, but from the other side very realistically depicting intimate and deep problems of the society. His second book I read also quickly, easily, and in admiration and astonishment at Orwell's ability to reveal nowadays problems with allegories and comparisons.

The main idea of the book demonstrates the rebellious spirit of animals to become free from human influence and oppression, and to show the society that they can manage the farm themselves stop being slaves of humans, and have equal rights and opportunities for each animal.

Unfortunately, the good undertaking and intention turn into even more slavery and exploitation, hard work without days off and non-equality, better conditions only for the selected group being close to the new leader, lie, distortion, distraction, and erasing "inappropriate and non-beneficial" information from minds of all animals step by step as though it was not there and they are just mistaken or don't remember everything correctly.

Brilliant work that shows nowadays reality.

Orwell is a master of feeling the situation and existing problems and depicting them satirically.
