Acerca de esta escucha

 George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture, quoted so often that we tend to forget who wrote the original words. It is an account of the bold struggle that transforms Mr. Jones' Manor Farm into Animal Farm, a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that bears an insidious familiarity. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is re-established with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others.To supplement the full text version of George Orwell's Animal Farm, listen to the SparkNotes Guide for Animal Farm.©1946 Harcourt Brace and Jovanich, Inc.

Editorial review


By Seth Hartman, Audible Editor

ANIMAL FARM IS STILL THE GOLD STANDARD OF POLITICAL SATIRE

Like many American public school goers, I was introduced to Animal Farm at the ripe old age of 13. While I was, by all accounts, a novice when it came to world history, it didn’t take me long to realize that there was something special about this book. While the setting of a farm was certainly familiar territory to me, this was no nursery rhyme.

With other books to his name—most notably, 1984—George Orwell made no bones about his political opinions. Using adorable farm animals, this scathing allegory depicts an interpretation of the Bolshevik uprising and ensuing Russian Revolution. While revolution can bring hope, Orwell shows the darker implications of political upheaval and the reality of changing regimes. Ultimately, this book is about a futile quest for equality amidst political turmoil.

It is really difficult not to feel optimistic when a group of subservient creatures manages to take out the tyrannical farmer. However, Orwell illustrates that it takes more than revolution to establish a fair system of governance. The power vacuum that is created in the farmer’s absence can be felt by all of the animals, and it doesn’t take long for someone to step up. In a not-so-subtle piece of parallel imagery, the pigs are the animals that manage to seize control of the farm after the uprising takes place. While they seem to rule with a more pro-animal outlook than the farmer did, it doesn’t take long for the true colors of their leader, Napoleon, to show.

Above all else, Animal Farm is a cautionary tale. George Orwell seems to be of the opinion that no governing body is capable of providing true equality to its subjects. Unfortunately, there haven’t been too many real-life governments that have pulled this off. While this book is specifically satirizing Soviet communism, many of the issues presented within these pages still apply to this day. Now that I am a few years older with more historical knowledge under my belt, listening to this book again has given me an even deeper look into Orwell’s twisted world. Ralph Cosham's smooth narration doesn't hurt either, adding an extra dimension to the book.

I think it is so important that Animal Farm remains a staple title for young students to read. While some may interpret Orwell’s vision as purely anti-communist, history has made it clear that the messaging within is more widely applicable. I would never accuse this book of being a light read, but the whip-fast pacing and biting satire make it an incredibly enjoyable one. Long live Orwell!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable of our times....The steadiness and lucidity of Orwell's merciless wit are reminiscent of Anatole France and even of Swift." (The New York Times Book Review)

George Orwell transformed literature with his piercing social commentary and allegorical style. His works have become so entrenched in popular culture that the term "Orwellian" is used to describe totalitarian and authoritarian societies. Orwell also wrote nonfiction books and essays that similarly express his gift for satire and controversial views on government. Throughout his writing career, he never feared tackling challenging topics, no matter how subversive.

For some reason I was never required to read this is school, so when I saw it on list of classics, I bought it on Audible. It was a wonderful story of political corruption and societal norms. The narrator was great and his varying voices for the characters kept my interest.

Classic well-read

Classic. 2020---its like we are living it. our media in lock step with liberal ideology breath life into the way in which truth is played against a population who will believe most anything. never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

good read, great story telling. A rare kind of story. Orwell blessed us with this one. I would recommend this book to anyone who believes communism works. "two legs bad, four legs good" × infinity - 🐑

Read and it feel like prophecy for what we are experiencing right now. It's so unfortunate that we continue in this manner.

More like a prophecy

Absolutely chilling the way this story ends, and the progression with which we the reader see the increasingly horrifying and tyrannical changes to the farm. But the animals are kept docile and stupid through the combined efforts of limited education and constant lying and falsified propaganda to lull them into compliance… but with an ever present threat of horrible violence if the soft words fail to squash any thought of disobedience or questioning. The parallels this story holds to the nuances of reality in our society all around us can be seen easily and in so many forms. This should be required reading in schools.

But some are more equal than others. I doubt any socialist, Marxist or communist has read this book given the popularity of these movements as of late.
Your liberators will be wielding whips before you know it.

All Animals Are Equal

Written in 1945 the parable was limited some to known history but some accurate forward thinking applies. It will be interesting to watch if the marxism developing in 2020 perfects the view or follows pattern and turns the oppressed into being themselves oppressors as all humans are seen as equal but some humans become more equal than others.

Some applicability to 2020

Where does Animal Farm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The nature of man in animal form. Ideology, loyalty, and devotion become strings for a corrupt puppet master. What I love is how this story continues to be relevant regardless of how much time passes. Network News, Politicians, Social organizations can all be seen on the farm. Highly recommended!

Is it now more clear why we are warned to not be a sheep when it comes to our country’s government?!

Authoritarianism/communism does not come in the light of day, but slithers in under cover of night.
